The event was jointly organized by the Vietnam Trade Office in Germany, the German Selgros Wholesale Supermarket System, and the Northern Binh Trade Promotion Delegation. Attendees included representatives from the Vietnamese Embassy in Germany, representatives from the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Finance, Mr. Rainier Schubert, Secretary of the German International Business Attaché Club, and representatives from nearly 40 Vietnamese and German companies engaged in consulting and import-export businesses. The highlight of the event was lychees from Vietnam's Northern Binh Province, an agricultural region with nearly 300,000 hectares of farmland, excellent climate and soil conditions, and a rich crop ecosystem. Lychees are the province's most representative agricultural product, with nearly 30,000 hectares of cultivation, accounting for over 60% of the province's fruit planting area. The product has successfully exported to over 30 countries and regions after passing strict technical and food safety standards. Northern Binh Province's pre-processing, packaging, and logistics systems are continuously modernizing and synchronizing. Vietnamese Trade Attaché to Germany, Ms. Dang Thi Thanh Phuong, stated that Vietnamese fruits and agricultural products have export advantages. German consumers are already familiar with some Vietnamese specialty products like coffee, seafood, tea, and condiments. However, many other Vietnamese goods remain unknown or unpopular in the German market. Northern Binh Province's delegation's trade promotion trip to Europe to directly promote its characteristic lychees received high praise from Selgros Supermarket. This not only allows German consumers to further understand Vietnamese lychees but also experience other specialty agricultural products such as pomelo, dragon fruit, fresh coconuts, and coffee. Northern Binh Province Standing Committee Member and Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council, Nghiem Xuan Thuong, emphasized that the "Vietnam Goods Day" event at Selgros is an excellent opportunity to promote trade and market Vietnamese lychees and other representative agricultural products in Germany. The event also provides an opportunity to strengthen cooperation between Northern Binh Province and German partners in agriculture, trade, logistics, and tourism. Vietnamese Ambassador to Germany, Vu Quang Minh, noted that Vietnamese fruits are not only visually appealing but also have unique flavors. Northern Bi

This notable growth trend reflects the global appetite for fresh, nutritious fruits and the expanding application of lychee in various fields.

On June 10, the Vietnam Pioneer Newspaper Organization held a symposium on sustainable development of the durian industry, focusing on food safety issues related to durians. Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association Secretary General Dang Phuc Nguyen stated that Vietnam's durian export value reached $2.1 billion and $3.2 billion in 2023 and 2024, respectively, with exports in the first four months of 2025 only reaching $183 million, a year-on-year decline of 60.9%. Exports to the Chinese market alone amounted to $105.7 million, a drop of 75.5%. According to professional institutions, the primary cause of cadmium contamination is the accumulation of heavy metals in soil, mainly resulting from long-term excessive use of fertilizers, especially phosphate fertilizers (such as diammonium phosphate). Nguyen believes that issues of cadmium exceeding standards and alkaline yellow in durians expose inherent flaws in the overheated durian industry, including lack of comprehensive management of the supply chain from agricultural inputs to orchard cultivation and post-harvest processing, large-scale expansion, yield pursuit, and lax management of planting areas and packaging plants. Nguyen Quang Hieu, Deputy Director of the Plant Protection Department of Vietnam's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, stated that when China first issued a warning in March 2024, their investigation discovered many areas with high cadmium residue. The department recently revealed the main causes of soil cadmium contamination, including natural factors like soil issues and inability to let farmland rest, and subjective reasons such as farmers' excessive fertilizer use in specific areas. Regarding the alkaline yellow issue, Hieu explained that due to the discovery of alkaline yellow in Thai durians, China strengthened controls and applied similar measures to Vietnam to prevent risks from various durian importing countries. Phan Van Duy, Deputy Director of the Agricultural Product Processing and Market Development Bureau, reported that 34 laboratories have obtained cadmium detection certification, with 24 recognized by China, and 19 institutions have alkaline yellow detection certification, with 15 recognized by China. However, due to differences between Vietnam's test results and those upon cargo arrival, four laboratories
