To avoid complete dependence on China, Vietnamese lychee farmers used this year’s harvest as an opportunity to expand their footprint across the globe by exporting to over 30 international markets, as well as strengthening their domestic position. During this year’s lychee harvest season, which typically falls over summer, Vietnam’s lychee famers have been focusing their efforts on selling to industrial parks and shipping their products to Japan, the U.S., and several other countries, rather than relying primarily on China, a long-standing market, to purchase their fruit.

Hanoi's first BRT line began operations in 2017. It runs over 14.77 km from Yen Nghia to the Kim Ma Station on its own exclusive path. The goal of promoting the BRT system is to reduce the number of personal vehicles on the road, prevent traffic congestion and protect the environment. However, the sheer amount of traffic during peak hours sees other vehicles trespassing on the BRT-exclusive lanes in great numbers, forcing delays on people taking the bus. The total investment cost of the project, including infrastructure and buses, is around $55 million, which is sourced from a World Bank and counterpart funds from Vietnam. In the early hours of the morning, people could be seen parking their vehicles in front of a BRT station on To Huu Street, with more vehicles behind them.
