Every year during lychee season, vast orchards across Bac Giang and Hai Duong glow with the vibrant red of ripe lychees, signaling a fruitful harvest and economic potential. But behind this bright facade lies a persistent challenge: if not sold or preserved in time, lychees rapidly lose freshness — leading to devaluation, spoilage, or even disposal.
Despite high yield and strong demand, lychees remain one of Vietnam’s most perishable fruits, with a natural shelf life of just 3–5 days without proper cold storage or post-harvest handling. In the absence of dedicated preservation infrastructure and standardized processing, many farmers are left to depend on traders — and hope for the best.
Post-Harvest Vulnerability: A Hidden Drain on Value
Lychees often suffer from:
- Wilting and browning within days of harvest
- Decreased sweetness and moisture loss
- Fruit borer infestations
- Missed export opportunities due to inadequate quality control during transport
As a result, the lack of post-harvest solutions not only leads to economic losses for growers and exporters, but also contributes to significant food waste and environmental impact.
CASS: A Breakthrough in Lychee Preservation
To address this urgent issue, CASS (Controlled Atmosphere Storage System) introduces an innovative solution using CA (Controlled Atmosphere) technology — widely adopted by leading agricultural exporters around the world.
With CASS, lychees can be:
✅ Stored up to 30 days while maintaining optimal freshness
✅ Preserved in natural color, crispness, and sweetness
✅ Protected from stem-end pest damage
✅ Shipped affordably by sea, reducing logistics costs by 50–70% compared to air freight
Proven Results, Real Impact
CASS’s CA technology has demonstrated the ability to:
- Reduce post-harvest loss by up to 80%
- Enhance export readiness, even for long-haul shipments
- Increase profit margins by allowing farmers and businesses to sell when market prices are highest
- End the cycle of “rescue sales” and replace them with long-term market value
A New Future for Vietnamese Lychees
Vietnam’s agricultural sector cannot rely solely on good harvests. It needs modern infrastructure that can preserve quality throughout the entire supply chain. With advanced CA technology and cold logistics solutions, CASS is helping transform lychees from a time-sensitive commodity into an export-ready product.
For cooperatives, exporters, and growers who want to compete globally, post-harvest is no longer an afterthought — it’s a strategic investment.
