Vifoco is preparing the machine and equipment to process the lychee for export. |

Now, Vifoco is preparing the necessary conditions of machine, package, lable, man power... to ensure the prompt operation as soon as the main lychee season comes.
The lychee processing helps increase the farm produce value, prolong the using time and reduce the pressure on fresh lychee consumption. Thus, the agencies and localities have actively attracted the processing enterprises to consume the lychee this year.
