The fruit is being sold at a promotional price of VND26,900 (US$1.17) per kilogramme until June 15.
It will be soon available at VinMart store on e-commerce platform Lazada.
A VinCommerce spokesperson said the lychees are bought, preserved and packaged in compliance with stringent standards at VinMart's warehouses to ensure they retain their freshness.
The tie-up with Lazada helps improve the company’s multi-channel distribution, and the distribution method ensures safe shopping amid the COVID-19 pandemic, he said.
On June 8 the company signed an agreement with the Bac Giang Province Department of Industry and Trade to buy 2,000 tonnes of Luc Ngan lychee.
It will also buy other agricultural products from the province, such as white radish, bitter melon, zucchini, pumpkin, oranges, and poultry.
