“In previous years, my husband and I often bought the whole garden, from when the lychee was still green until harvest, we would sell it to traders. Now the lychee is in the right season for the outbreak, so my husband and I decided to switch to drying and selling dry cloth. Because it was too urgent, I didn’t have time to make a drying oven, so after I harvested fresh lychees, I rented them to dry them and then sell them on my personal page as well as online market groups,” Thuy said. The price of dried fabric is halved compared to every year Ms. Thuy said that the drying time for a batch of fabric ranges from 5 to 6 days, depending on the drying process of each kiln owner. A satisfactory batch of dried lychee is that the lychee fruit must have uniform color, sharp sweetness, flexibility and a very characteristic aroma. Due to the impact of the epidemic, the price of dried lychee this year is much lower than every year. According to Ms. Thuy, in previous years, the average price of dried lychee was from 120,000-150,000 VND/kg, this year the price fluctuates around 60,000 VND/kg. This price is for Thuy and her husband to make it public on their sales page. She and her husband only do wholesale, not retail, with a minimum order of 10kg. Customers taking in large quantities, from 50kg or more, I will reduce the price a little more. “Because I have been selling for nearly 15 years, the number of regular customers is very large. There are customers who order immediately at 2-3 quintals, on average I output about 4 quintals a day. In less than a week, I sold 1.5 tons of dried lychees,” she said. Thuy and her husband only wholesale dried cloth for customers who buy 10kg or more “Actually, this year, I switched to selling dried lychees like this and didn’t make much profit. However, due to the Covid-19 epidemic, I want to join hands so that litchi growers don’t suffer much damage.” The woman shared that if the dried fabric meets the standards, it can be preserved for a whole year. Dried lychee can be used to eat directly, soak in alcohol or use to cook tea, as a spice for traditional Chinese medicine. How to choose a drying cloth In the market, there are many establishments that sell dried fabrics, but to choose quality dried fabrics, it is necessary to pay attention to buy them at reputable addresses. The dried fruit must be large, the outer skin is dry evenly, keep its shape or slightly dented. Dried fabric can be kept for a long time Especially when peeling, the lychee must be flexible, have a characteristic aroma, sweet taste, peel off without sticking to your hands, and have a dark color of cockroach wings. Long litchi with black color means it has been burnt, while long with light brown color means that it has not been dried enough, must be used immediately and cannot be stored for a long time. Methods of preservation In order to preserve the dried fabric for a long time, when we buy the fabric, we dry it under 2 or 3 times in the sun. During the drying process, pay attention to turning the fabric to the sun, and the fabric to dry evenly. Then put it in the shade to dry in the wind for another 3, 4 days, then put it in a tightly tied plastic bag. When storing, about 2-3 months, you should open the cloth bag to check the probability of a few fruits to see if the dried fabric is still of good quality or has been moldy, damaged or opaque. If you store a lot, every few months, you should take the fabric out to dry in the sun and follow the exact same preservation process for the first time, thus ensuring that the dried fabric can be kept delicious and nutritious for years to come.

See the outer shell The easy way to know if the lychee is delicious or not is to observe the outer skin of the lychee. When buying, you should pay attention to choose bunches of fruits with flexible branches and fresh leaves, this is a sign of fresh lychees, recently picked. Illustration. On the contrary, you should ignore the bunches with wilted, easily broken or bruised branches because those are the fruits that have been picked for a long time or exposed to the sun for a long time, so the branches and bark are dry. Delicious and ripe lychee will have a pink-red skin, round fruits. The lychee fruit is usually smaller than the hybrid lychee (only about 70%), while the lychee fruit is larger, more elongated, and the color is also darker red. Ripe litchi until the spines will be smooth, the more thorns and sharper the thorns are, the greener the fabric will be. Do not choose litchi fruit with dark spots, black spots on the skin, especially on the stem because it is easy to encounter rotten or overripe fruit. Should choose bunches of fresh lychee, the branches stick to the fruit and the leaves are still green. Do not choose to buy bunches of lychee with dried, wilted, fragile branches or dried, no longer fresh leaves. Try it with your hands Fresh lychee to the touch will have elasticity, when pressed, you will feel the fruit is a bit soft but still firm.

If the peel is tough, the stem is dark, the molasses is high, and the pulp is not clear, the lychee may be overcooked or about to spoil. Illustration. Split the pulp, see the seeds After peeling, slowly try to separate the pulp. – The pulp is soft, clear white, succulent, when peeling, it begins to molasses, has a light aroma, the pulp is thick and easy to separate, the small seeds are delicious. – If you find it difficult to separate the seeds, the seeds are large, the pulp is pasty, the smell is bad or the smell is strange, you should not choose. Illustration. Size of lychee Vietnamese standard delicious lychee is a medium sized lychee, not as beautiful as a hybrid lychee. The lychee fruit is smaller, only 70% of the hybrid lychee. The fruit is round, slightly regular, while the lychee hybrid has large berry fruit, elongated body, large seeds, sour taste. Illustration.

Characteristics of the tree group that produces fruit at the tip of the branch Lychee belongs to the group of year-round green leafy trees, multi-use trees, both for fruit, shade and landscape. The trees in this group often have the phenomenon of fruiting every year, which means the year of fruiting, the year of no fruit, the year of little fruit, the year of many fruits. Longan and litchi are all fruit-bearing trees, …. That is, the branch from the fall of the previous year is the mother branch bearing fruit next year. If the branch is healthy and the cake is dull next spring, flowers will bloom on the top of the branch. If winter has budded spring leaves do not flower. Therefore, in order for the tree to produce many flowers next spring, it is necessary to prepare many branches from the previous autumn, the branches are old and strong. That depends first of all on the post-harvest care. Longan and litchi trees grow fruit after a year, after harvesting, the branches and leaves fall off, which is the period when the tree is most physically exhausted. From the research results of agricultural experts, after harvesting, the roots are the part that loses the most force, followed by leaves and branches. In order to produce normal fruit next year, folk care experience along with cutting branches, pruning the canopy must be “compensated” or “compensated” in the post-harvest period. The selection of fertilizers and fertilization techniques are very important in order to restore the health of the tree, ensure the recovery, growth and development after 5-6 months of fruiting to continue to produce fruit next season. After harvest, longan and litchi trees need to be cared for and “compensated” so that the next crop can still be productive. Photo: TL. Van Dien fertilizer – The perfect choice for longan and lychee Among the current fertilizers, in addition to organic fertilizers, only Van Dien fused phosphate fertilizer and Van Dien NPK multi-element fertilizer products can meet the above demand for longan and litchi. Easily digestible nutrients in Van Dien fused phosphate fertilizers include: P2O5 15-19%, MgO 15-18%, SiO2 24-32%, CaO 28-34%, and many other micronutrients such as Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Bo, Mo…. Multi-factor fertilizer NPK Van Dien 5.10.3 has the content of nutrients such as: N=5%; P2O5=10%; K2O=3%; S=2%; MgO=9%; CaO=15%; SiO2=14%. In addition, there are trace elements such as B, Mn, Zn, Cu, Co… that other fertilizers do not have. Recently, the multi-factor fertilizer products NPK Van Dien 6:12:3 or multi-factor fertilizers NPK Van Dien 10:7:3 are very good fertilizers for fruit trees, especially in the post-harvest stage. . Using Van Dien fused phosphorus products and Van Dien NPK multi-factor fertilizers helps to provide a balanced, complete, multi-, medium-, and micro-nutrients for longan, litchi to restore roots and branches and leaves. Photo: Vandienfmp.vn. Instructions for fertilizing longan and litchi in the post-harvest period This year’s lychee fruit season is very good, so it is necessary to increase efforts to take care of litchi early, while the longan trees bear fruit unevenly, even many trees do not bear fruit, so the care of this year’s longan must be specific to each tree. Non-flowering longan and litchi trees: The longan and litchi trees this year do not flower if this year is not well taken care of, next year will certainly be poor in harvest. To prepare for the fruiting season in 2022, with the trees that do not bear fruit this year, around June and July, corresponding to the annual fruit collection time, still cutting, pruning and weeding as every year. At the same time, apply deep fertilizer with 3-4 kg of composted organic fertilizer and 3-5kg of Van Dien fused phosphate fertilizer, in order to provide phosphorus and secondary and micronutrients, part to prepare and accumulate nutrients. for the next crop, the nutritional compensation for the recent overgrowth of leaves is too strong. The litchi trees, longan trees are bearing fruit: Immediately after collecting the fruit, it is necessary to immediately start weeding for the trees: Prune toothpicks, pests, overhanging branches, branches under the canopy … at the same time, fertilize the trees, hoe around the canopy and then fertilize. The amount of fertilizer for each root is about 5-10kg of composted organic fertilizer, 5-7kg of Van Dien fused phosphate fertilizer and 3-5kg of Van Dien NPK multi-element fertilizer (5:10:3, 10:7:3. ..). Mix well with the soil, spread it in the canal and fill 2/3 of the trenches, grass cabinets, and garbage to keep the stumps warm. If the soil is too dry, it needs to be watered to keep the roots moist. Based on the time of harvest and the health of the tree, it is necessary to affect the summer or autumn buds. The early fruit trees in June, July, after weeding and fertilizing will give summer buds. Fertilizing for the autumn fortune: Locusts are formed on the leaf axils of summer buds (for early-harvesting plants) or grow from the leaf axils of fruit branches with late-autumn plants. This is the fruit branch of the next year’s longan and litchi crop, so it is necessary to pay special attention to adjusting fertilizer so that the harvest ends before November every year. Apply fertilizer to promote autumn buds in September and October after the summer buds have matured (into the leaves), apply 2-3kg of multi-element fertilizer NPK Van Dien 10:7:3 in combination with felling, pruning and removing branches. pass) in the canopy. Apply fertilizer to promote the collection of 2-3kg of multi-element fertilizer NPK Van Dien 10:7:3 in combination with felling and pruning. Photo: Vadfco. Note, only fertilize the autumn buds for trees under 15 years old, showing signs of lack of fertilizer, poor growth (showing yellow-green leaves) or late fruit trees in August, September. The growth pattern of the tree and the yield of the harvested fruit with more or less fertilizer application. If the weather is dry, it must be combined with watering to help the plants recover quickly and develop early autumn buds. When the buds are collected evenly, it is necessary to spray insecticides to ensure that the buds come out evenly and abundantly, the young buds grow well and are strong enough to make fruiting branches next year. Usually on an old fruit branch, there are many new shoots. When the young branches have enough leaves, it is advisable to trim away the weak, weak branches, leaving only the strong, fat huts to keep as the mother branch for the next crop. In the winter months, do not water, fertilize, create all conditions for the tree to “barren”, inhibit the formation and development of winter buds. By applying Van Dien fused phosphate fertilizer and Van Dien NPK multi-factor fertilizer right after fruit collection to create many vigorous autumn branches, combined with inhibiting winter buds, spring when the weather is warm and humid, longan trees , the fabric begins to spring up. Only apply fertilizer to catch flowers for longan and litchi when flower sprouts appear in the axillary leaves of the branches, the amount of application is about 3-5kg of multi-factor fertilizer NPK Van Dien 10:7:3 or 10:10:3, buried. Seal the manure, then water it to stimulate the buds and flowers. Fused phosphate fertilizers and specialized multi-factor NPK fertilizer products for Van Dien at the same time provide a full and balanced supply of essential nutrients for longan and litchi trees, helping them to grow strong and resistant to external conditions. Under unfavorable circumstances, especially during the winter break, litchi trees balance growth with development, creating bountiful fruit seasons.

Similarly, zucchini grown in Vu Thu, Thai Binh has reached the harvest period but no traders have asked to buy it. People bring to the market to retail for 2,000-5,000 VND/kg. Last year, the price of pumpkin was 10,000 VND/kg. In Hanoi, the price of zucchini is 7,000-10,000 VND/kg. In addition to zucchini, pumpkin prices also dropped to only 5,000-6,000 VND/kg. Squashes piled up in the house, the price dropped to the carpet (Photo: Thao Nguyen) Many Japanese purple sweet potato farmers in Binh Tan (Vinh Long) are also suffering because the price of sweet potatoes has dropped dramatically, to less than 1,000 VND/kg. Even some growers called for but no one took. Airfares near bottom According to a survey by Zing, due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, domestic airfare prices dropped sharply. With the return flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi departing on June 2 and returning on June 5, the cheapest fare is currently at nearly 900,000 VND including taxes and fees. Compared to the last time it hit the bottom, domestic airfares inched slightly, partly because the preferential tickets for 0 dong were sold out, partly because airlines increased taxes and fees to supplement revenue during a difficult market period. towel. The original ticket price offered by airlines is only 5,000 VND, 6,000 VND, 49,000 VND or 99,000 VND. Peach ‘disguised’ Sapa specialty costs only 20,000 VND/kg According to Tien Phong newspaper, on many roads in Saigon, peaches labeled as Sapa peaches are sold widely. The peaches “disguised” are plump and shiny Sapa peaches with extremely cheap prices, only from 16,000-20,000 VND/kg. These large and juicy peaches are advertised by small traders as originating from Sapa. Mrs. C., a small trader selling fruit at Hoa Binh market (District 5, Ho Chi Minh City), affirmed: “Peach sold in carts, street vendors are “fake” peaches, and mine is the main Sapa. brand. Those who sell peaches for less than 20,000 VND are not from Sapa, and I don’t know where the origin is. Sapa peaches must be big and round, ripe like this to be real.” The price of live pork has dropped sharply, the price of meat in the market has not been reduced yet In recent years, live hog prices have continuously decreased. At the beginning of May, hog prices were at their lowest level in a year and are forecast to continue falling. Currently, the price of live pork is purchased in the range of 64,000-69,000 VND/kg. Compared to the same period in 2020, the price of live hog across the country has decreased from 30,000-32,000 VND/kg. But the price of pork sold at markets and supermarkets is still high.

In traditional markets, the price of pork is currently at 120,000-160,000 VND/kg. Compared to the same time last year, the price of pork decreased by 25,000-35,000 VND/kg. Explaining the record drop in live hog prices, but the selling prices are still high, Mr. Nguyen Van Trong, Deputy Director of the Department of Livestock Production (MARD) explained, the reason is from slaughter to sales in Vietnam. Nam is still going through many intermediate stages. Each stage costs additional costs, leading to the finished meat reaching consumers without enjoying the desired price. Green mangosteen guts ‘fly’ to Hanoi, the ‘chat’ price is still expensive At this time, mangosteen begins to be in season. Besides the ripe red, sweet, and succulent mangosteen fruits costing from 45,000-80,000 VND/kg, the mangosteen with the green skin, crispy intestine, and slightly sour taste is sought after by many people. Green mangosteen flesh costs half a million dong/kg (photo: NT) Mangosteen when green is still a rare specialty dish, because the collection and preliminary processing takes a lot of effort. Moreover, because there is only one season each year, the price of this fruit is not cheap. Unpeeled green mangosteen costs from 80,000-95,000 VND/kg. Particularly, peeled mangosteen is extremely expensive, up to 480,000-650,000 VND/kg depending on the time. Because, you have to peel about 4-5kg of fruit to get 1kg of intestine.

Currently, the red color of ripe lychees has covered the streets of Hanoi. Although the price is still not “comfortable” but Hanoi people still love it and don’t stop asking to buy it. The price of fresh lychees on the Hanoi market is ranging from 35,000 VND to 50,000 VND/kg. The freshest lychee is tied in bunches of about 2-3kg and often the seller does not agree to tear it apart. Thus, to enjoy, customers must spend at least 100,000 VND. Hoa (Mai Dong market) carefully wraps fresh lychees with wet towels to keep them fresh. A small trader in the area of ​​So crossroads (Thanh Xuan District) said that on these days, he sells half a kilo of fresh lychees every day. The fresh Thanh Ha lychees are sold by this small merchant by weight, for 35,000/kg. Fresh litchi on this occasion is not really sweet, but it is still popular with many customers with the mentality of wanting to enjoy the early season specialties.

At BigC supermarket (Ha Dong), fresh Thanh Ha lychees are sold for 38,900 VND/kg. The lychees here also quickly turn yellow because they dry quickly when encountering cold air. The less eye-catching color seems to be the reason why fresh lychees in the first season in supermarkets are not as expensive as in the market. Mr. Nguyen Duy Canh, 35 years old, from Thanh Xuan, Hanoi said that he had just bought 3.8kg of fresh lychee at the market for 40,000 VND/kg. Currently, litchi in the market is fresh, easy to find, easy to buy and easy to bargain. Unlike in supermarkets, fresh lychees are hard to find and even if they are found, they lose their freshness. Not only in markets and supermarkets, fresh lychees also appear in many “online markets”. Currently, personal Facebook pages are actively selling and are also interested by many buyers, especially when the epidemic makes customers afraid to go to crowded places and want to buy goods online. On e-commerce platforms such as Shopee, Tiki, and Lazada, Thanh Ha litchi also appeared at the beginning of the season. But if you want to buy, customers will have to order up to 7 days in advance, because the quantity of goods is not much.

Lychee is mainly consumed in the southern market, supermarkets and retail stores in Hanoi, some northern provinces and cities and exported to China through Lao Cai border gate (6 containers). It is known that in Tan Moc commune and some communes, lychee was soon ordered by traders to buy at the garden, so they did not have to bring it to the truck as in previous years. However, since the beginning of the harvest season, litchi is not yet ripe, most traders have to buy more in other localities to pack enough goods for consumption. Along with that, the price of all kinds of foam boxes is stable, specifically (at the factory): The price of small foam boxes is 19 thousand VND/barrel; big foam box 32 thousand VND/carton.

In the early days of June, the sun was burning like fire, after a few appointments, asking for directions, we found Mr. Tran Van Hanh’s house in Chao village (Giap Son, Luc Ngan, Bac Giang) – the owner of the areas high quality lychee garden, selling at the most expensive price in Vietnam. Taking us to visit the litchi garden, which is ripening red, Mrs. Truong Thi Bay – Mr. Hanh’s wife said: “The family is about to have a big feast, my grandfather has been busy these days to invite guests, he will probably come back in the afternoon”. Stopping in the middle of a litchi garden laden with branches, Ms. Bay said: “This year my lychee crop failed due to hail during Tet, but this garden alone is very fruitful. There is about a week left to harvest, the business has already consumed all the first-class lychees in the garden.” She and her husband have been growing lychees since 1991. In the early days, they ate rice with cassava and corn porridge to gain strength to use a hoe to level the land on hills to grow litchi. At that time, people only knew how to plant and take care of them according to their own experience, which lychees could be picked and sold, and did not know the planting and fertilization techniques so that the lychee would meet the same high quality standards as now. . In the early years of growing Luc Ngan litchi, the output was not much, so the price was high. Later, the area increased, the people had more experience in planting, and the yield also increased. However, a lot of goods are easy to depreciate. In the harvest season, her husband and her husband carried heavy baskets of lychee to the market to sell, but merchants competed with each other to criticize the bad, small fruit and then deliberately forced it to sell at a cheap price, only a few thousand VND per kilogram. Even when the price is so cheap, people growing lychee here also bring lychees to the market to sell by baskets, not by weight. The basket of cloth weighs more than 1 quintal but only sold 100 thousand VND, enough money to fill up with gasoline to go home, considered a waste of effort to fertilize.
Many houses at that time were tired of selling cheap lychees and cut them down, destroying the whole garden. She and her husband tried to keep it because lychee is the main source of income, destroying the garden and not knowing how to plant another tree to replace it. “Once, my grandfather saw that the canopy of a litchi tree grew quickly, many branches and leaves created a shady space for pests to thrive. He took a knife and cut off the small branches at the top of the canopy to create light for the garden. Then, in the trunk, many new buds sprout, then flower and bear fruit. More surprising is the rate of fruiting in the branches growing from the trunk is very high. The quality of the lychee obtained is also much higher than that of the litchi from the top,” she said. Desperate, risking to change your life Seeing this, her husband proposed to renovate the family’s litchi gardens, but she was afraid of failure. The couple is quite hesitant, but if they don’t change and still do the old way, how can they escape the scene of selling cheap fabrics. So they decided to take a risk. Thirty years old farmer San Diu produces the most expensive lychee in Vietnam Thirty years old farmer San Diu produces the most expensive lychee in Vietnam
In 2011, she and her husband started the process of improving the technical process of caring, “squeezing” the litchi tree to produce fruit from the stem. Looking at the lychee garden was fined almost all of the tops, still bare with branches and roots, but her guts were sore, worried that it would damage the lychee garden, she recalled. “There was no process, at that time it was called taking risks. Just doing it and gaining experience. Initially made a garden, later increased to 2 gardens. Once you have experience, you can renovate and convert all of the family’s lychee gardens,” she said. Finally, with the technique of pruning, limiting the growth of the canopy to help light shine down the trunk, the buds that grow from the trunk after harvesting the fruit must be cut off, the second buds out to take care of the flowers. , bearing fruit and fertilizing periodically, … her husband also “squeezed” the lychee tree to bear fruit from stem to top. Accordingly, for nearly ten years, every year the lychee in her house has been harvested. The lychee fruit is of much higher quality, the design is also more beautiful. Each tree produces about 40-50kg of lychee fruit from the trunk, in addition, lychee on the top can produce 70-80kg, even there are trees up to 1.8 quintals of fruit. Importantly, her family’s lychee always sells for one-and-a-half times higher than the market price. Traders come to the house to buy, she boasted. Making high-quality goods, counting money happily After visiting the garden, Mrs. Bay took us into the villa, and that was when Mr. Hanh returned. Seeing us, he smiled and asked if everyone had tasted organic lychee to see how the quality was. Then he said: “This time the litchi is ready to eat.”
Mr. Hanh said that the litchi season in 2019 was the first year he shook hands with a business to make organic lychees. The organic farming process is much stricter than the VietGAP process. Organic fertilizers and pesticides must be on the list of permitted use. The fertilization process is divided into 3 phases. Phase 1 fertilize before the plants flower or set young fruit. Phase 2 fertilizes when the fruit is with the tip of a finger and the third phase when the fruit is in the pulp, the seeds are covered, Ms. Bay added. In addition to the detailed diary, he also installed a camera in his garden to monitor the entire process from tending to fruit picking. Products are provided with labels and QR codes so that when customers need to check, they can use smartphones to verify. As a result, last year’s lychee season, he sold 3 tons of high-quality organic lychee to the business. They canned 12 fruits and sold them for 200,000 VND/box (equivalent to 17,000 VND/fruit and 600,000 VND/kg). This is also the most expensive type of lychee in Vietnam. “The first organic lychee they bought from my family cost 90,000 VND/kg for canning, and the bag type cost 60,000 VND/kg. This price is also double the price in the market, “she said. According to her, the yield of organic lychee is not as high as that of the VietGAP method, but in return, organic lychee is easy to sell. Guests in Bac Giang and in Hanoi also rode a car up to her garden to ask to buy lychee. “Last year, the fabric sold at a high price. Picking baskets of cloth to sell enough money to measure rice for half a year. The amount of fabric may not be as good as five years ago, but the money is more collected, counting happily,” said Ms. Bay. In the last Tet holiday, there was hail that affected the flowering and fruiting rate of litchi trees. However, Hanh and his wife still believe that with 2 hectares of lychee growing area, the output of this crop is estimated at 20 tons. Enterprises also put up a deposit to cover all type 1 lychees. Regarding the income from lychee, according to Mr. Hanh, it depends on the price of each crop. But with the same area of ​​cultivation as his family is doing each year, he also earns about 800-900 million VND from this specialty fruit. In recent years, in addition to taking care of the family’s litchi garden, Mr. Hanh also teaches pruning techniques as well as care techniques so that lychee fruit can come out from the trunk to farmers inside and outside the province. Many successful people, grow and obtain lychees of the same quality as lychee in his garden.

Ms. Trinh Thi Mai from Yen Xa, Hanoi, two weeks ago started selling Dak Lak pink lychee. She said, this is the first fabric of the season that she imported from the Central Highlands to sell to gourmets. “Dak Lak persimmon usually ripens early and yields earlier than other lychees in the country. Usually, this type of fabric will start to ripen from April, until May is the end of the season. Years ago, many people ordered this pink fabric. Every day, I sell weights even though the price is up to 100,000 VND/kg when I go to Hanoi. But this year, the purchasing power dropped sharply even though the price of lychee fell to only 50,000 VND/kg. While at this price last year, customers can only buy loose fruit, without branches, without leaves, “Ms. Mai said. The first fabric of this year’s season is half as cheap as last year This small trader shared, because it is just the beginning of the season, the lychee is not 100% sweet but only about 70% sweet, still a little sour. However, these lychees are still very fresh and delicious. This fabric is therefore still ordered by gourmets to enjoy and housewives to buy offerings on weekdays and full moon days. “The early season lychee is very fresh and sweet, with thick pulp, thin skin, and large, uniform fruits. Because it is beautiful and has a much cheaper price than usual, many customers still order 1-2kg to burn incense. But in general, purchasing power this year is slower than last year because of the Covid-19 epidemic, consumers spend more sparingly. Every day I can only sell about 10-20 kg of lychee,” said Mai. Also a small trader is selling litchi at the beginning of the season, but Ms. Tran Thi Huyen sells hybrid fabrics. Although at the beginning of the season, Huyen sells for only 25,000 VND / kg, 100,000 VND / 4 kg. Huyen said that these are hybrid lychee branches, sweet and sour taste. They are picked at the lychee garden in her hometown, Hung Yen, so they are very fresh. Because it is the fabric of the house, she sells it at a cheaper price than at the market. “Every year, fabric is usually exported to China. But this year, the export market is very quiet, the gardeners are absent from traders who come to deposit to buy. Therefore, the lychee is ripe until it is cut.” Because it is the first type of Northern litchi at the beginning of the season, it has the same cheap price as other popular fruits, so when she sold it online, it attracted the attention of many housewives. Customers often order from 2kg or more to burn incense or taste. “Last year, my family sold lychee at wholesale markets for about 30,000 VND/kg. Selling online, I offer 40,000 VND/kg. Meanwhile, many online shops also sell 50,000-60,000 VND/kg. However, this year the pandemic ended, so I sold it at that price and received a lot of support from many sisters,” Huyen said. According to PV’s observations, on the online market at this time, many small traders sell hybrid fabrics, pink lychee, and egg yolk litchi grown in Quang Ninh and Hung Yen. Because the small traders said, this time there is no lychee. This fabric is about a month away from the main crop. This small trader commented: “Although hybrid lychees and lychees are not as delicious as Bac Giang lychees, their fruits are quite large, round, succulent, and do not have head decay. In particular, the cloth is clean without preservatives, safer than many other fruits.” Before the complicated development of the new Covid-19 epidemic, many lychee sellers also expressed concern that the purchasing power of lychee was low and could not be exported. Despite the large number of customers ordering, the number of customers decreased significantly compared to last year, and in the main season, the price of cloth will surely decrease even more. “Therefore, our family is considering a plan to promote retailing at markets, especially wholesale markets, toad markets and online markets. In addition, try to connect with supermarkets to see if they can push fabrics to sell. Besides, there will also be a plan to dry and store cold to sell gradually”, Ms. Huyen shared.

Ackee and salted fish are two dishes associated with Jamaican culture. According to the BBC, Usain Bolt, the fastest man in the world, usually eats this dish in the morning. However, many people wonder how the dish including the poisonous fruit of West Africa and the fish from the North Atlantic become the “wet country” in Jamaica? Photo: Melting Pot. Writer Brendan Sainsbury said this story is tied to the “triangle of the slave trade” between England, West Africa and the Caribbean colonies in the 18th and 19th centuries. Ackee looks like lychee, originating from Ghana. Salted fish comes from the windy waters of Northern Europe and Eastern Canada. Photo: Getty. Ackee is suitable for the tropical climate of Jamaica so it has developed strongly since then. Today, across the country you’ll find large, overgrown ackee trees. Photo: BBC. Meanwhile, salted fish (mainly cod) is preserved by salting because in mid-17th century, freezer appeared. It was transferred mainly from Nova Scotia (Canada) to the British Caribbean colonies (including Jamaica). Somehow, the perfect recipe for these two was born. Photo: Getty. Cuthbert Binns, the head chef of a long-established Jamaican restaurant, shares the recipe: “First, boil ackee and salted fish together for 20 minutes before draining, filter the fish bones. Sour, spring onion, chili in a separate pan. Add boiled ackee with salted fish and sprinkle with thyme, black pepper. Photo: WordPress. Despite having a showy green crust, ackee hides a terrifying toxin. This fruit is extremely toxic if eaten unripe. If you eat, you will vomit, or die (quite rarely). Before that, Time magazine once listed ackee on the list of the most dangerous foods in the world. Ackee trading and importing is controlled very carefully. In Haiti, many cases have been recorded death from eating unripe ackee fruit due to lack of food. Photo: Serious Eats. However, the Jamaican people did not heed these dangerous warnings. “We know when it is safe to pick ackee fruit. You can only pick it when the fruit is open naturally, with a clear look at the yellow inner skin. This fruit contains toxic gas and it will release itself at ripe” Jamaican resort owner Janet Crick told the BBC. Photo: Elle Adventures.
