Tops, food business under Central Retail, partners with the Trade Office of the Embassy of Vietnam in Thailand to present “Exclusive Vietnamese Lychee” in the best season for lychee. The best Vietnamese lychee is imported to indulge Thai consumers exclusively at Tops. This will help expand business opportunities for Vietnamese vendors and promote trade partnerships between the two countries. The “Exclusive Vietnamese Lychee” activity will take place from today – 18, 2023 at Tops, Tops Food Hall, Tops Fine Food, and Tops Online.
Ms. Jariya Chirathivat, Executive Vice President, Business Development of Central Group, said, “Vietnam is one of Thailand’s most important trade partners in Asean and has a lot of potential in vegetable and fruit export with continuous growth. As this is the best harvest season, Tops, food business under Central Retail, as the pioneer of sourcing the best food and ingredients from around the world, presents “Exclusive Vietnamese Lychee” to continue the strong partnerships between the two countries. Now in its seventh year, our partnership aims to promote Vietnamese produce among Thai consumers by making it more accessible. We also provide a market for their products and create business matching opportunities with Thai counterparts through our local sourcing project in Vietnam to sell the products through the Central Retail network.”
Vietnam’s local lychee is popular and exported many countries around the world, thanks to its sweet, delicious flavor and juicy red texture. The lychee fruit is a symbol of wealth and fertility, and the best season for lychee is in July. Tops presents the deliciousness of Vietnamese lychee to customers exclusively at Tops. Here, customers can enjoy Thieu lychee, known as the best lychee in Vietnam, with a large size, small seed, and sweeter flesh than other types. It is imported from Luc Ngan district, Bac Giang province, one of the best lychee-growing regions of Vietnam. Customers can enjoy quality and freshness at affordable prices.
H.E. Mr. Phan Chi Thanh, Ambassador of Vietnam to Thailand, said, “Our partnership with Central Group in the past several years has helped Vietnamese farmers introduce their produce to the Thai market. We hope that, in the future, Vietnamese agricultural products, in addition to lychee, will be well-known and loved by Thai consumers. This will help promote our food culture and products among Thai people, leading to long-term economic benefits and trade partnerships between our countries. This year, Vietnam’s fruit and vegetable exports increased by 29 percent to 1.9 billion U.S. dollars in the first five months, compared to the same period last year. We expect that Vietnam’s fruit and vegetable exports to increase by approximately 20 percent to 4 billion U.S. dollars this year.” (Source: Vietnam Fruit & Vegetable Association)
