The longans were grown by Tien Cang Cooperative in Chieng Cang commune, Song Ma district. After several years applying advanced technologies to cultivate longans according to VietGap standards, Song Ma longans now meet the strict requirements of the export market.
Previously, Song Ma longans had mainly been shipped to China via illegal channels.
Song Ma longan brand was recognized by the National Office of Intellectual Property in August 2017 and was granted a plantation zone code by the Plant Protection Department.
This year’s Song Ma longan output is estimated at 40,000 tons. Son La province has actively implemented trade promotion measures to help local people receive higher market prices for their longans. In addition to domestic trade promotion activities, it has organized events to increase exports by promoting their longans within China.
