On June 27, information from the Department of Industry and Trade of Bac Giang province stated that in the 2024 lychee season, due to unfavourable weather, Bac Giang's lychee output reached nearly 100,000 tons, only 50% compared to last year. However, the price of lychees has increased sharply since the beginning of the season, doubling or even tripling compared to 2023. Lychee prices range from VND 55,000-85,000/kg, the highest ever.

Due to the increase in lychee prices, Bac Giang's lychee export volume to various markets has significantly decreased this year.
