In order to operate the cross-border e-commerce exports, Vo So Platform (sponsored by Viettel Post) embarked on the development of Vo So Global booth from March 2021. This booth is a place for overseas consumers, especially overseas Vietnamese, to buy qualified products of Vietnamese origin.

After consumers place an order on Vo So Global, this e-commerce platform will collect orders, and lychees will be harvested in Vietnam and shipped by air to Germany, through Viettel Post’s transport partners in Germany for door-to-door delivery to European consumers.

Vietnamese lychees delivered to German consumers are GlobalGAP-standard ones that have been preliminarily processed to remove damaged fruits, meet phytosanitary and quality control requirements in Vietnam and Europe, and are traced its origin to the garden through the application provided by iCheck.

Mr. Dang Hoang Hai - Director General of Department of E-commerce and Digital Economy assessed: “Our country has exported many fruits and agricultural products to European and Asian markets, etc. However, e-commerce exports normally are performed through international e-commerce platforms such as Amazon. The successful export of Bac Giang lychees in form of cross-border e-commerce through Vo So, Vietnam’s e-commerce platform, is a special milestone. This can be considered a remarkable step for our country’s e-commerce industry in bringing high-quality fresh agricultural products to foreign markets with strict standards like Europe."

Mr. Tran Trung Hung, General Director of Viettel Post Joint Stock Corporation, said: “The participation in Cross-border e-commerce has been planned by Vo So for a long time and now is the most favorable time to launch. With the pioneering mission, the key to creating a digital society, Viettel Post will continue to put more agricultural products on Vo So, not only serving domestic consumers but also allowing overseas Vietnamese to taste home specialties.”

With the success of the pioneering product, Bac Giang lychees, Vo So will continue to export many other products to the world market in the coming time to export not only local agricultural products but also other products that are Vietnamese strengths such as handicrafts or other agricultural and aquatic products.
