VTV.vn - To prepare for lychee exports this season, Bac Giang Province will preserve the fruits with modified atmosphere packaging or MAP, which has been granted exclusive rights by the National Office of Intellectual Property.

The MAP packaging is made from food grade plastic materials with the addition of some additives to preserve fruits for up to 35 days. This feature will help reduce the cost of exporting by using sea routes instead of air freight.

The MAP technology is simple, low cost, easy to use, and suitable for testing in markets such as Australia or the US. The cost of this preservation technology is only about 10 cents higher per kilo than traditional methods.
