Like members of other longan growing cooperatives who are applying Vietgap process, amid the peak harvesting season, growers in longan cooperatives of Ne Chau and Hong Nam commune in Hung Yen city do not worry much about consumption.

This result is due to the chain of events promoting longan consumption organized by the provincial authorities, which helps cooperatives have more purchase orders.

Individual households are now transformed into the collective model which forms a number of growing longan cooperatives.
