More than 75 tonnes of lychee sold via MoMo

HÀ NỘI  — More than  七 五 tonnes of lychee were sold via the e-wallet MoMo in the past  二0 days as part of the progra妹妹e 'Supporting Vietnamese Agricultural Products'.

According to the firm, the first season of the progra妹妹e with Saigon Co.op got better results than expected.

Nguyễn Bá Diệp, vice chairman and co-founder of MoMo said: “We first expected to sell about  二0 tonnes of lychee in HCM City. Then we sold  一 七. 五 tonnes on the first day and decided to sell in Hà Nội too.”

“The sale has opened a new direction for agricultural consumption in the  四.0 era,"大众he added.

According to statistics from Saigon Co.op, lychee sold through MoMo has accounted for  二0 per cent of total lychee sales in Saigon Co.op this year.

Đỗ Quốc Huy, Marketing Director of Saigon Co.op, said: "The progra妹妹e will open up more opportunities for other agricultural products in the future."

Diệp from Momo told Việt Nam News: “Farmers are often vulnerable in their agriculture production due to weather and price changes. If we can help sell their products from the beginning, it will help them be more proactive and have a more stable source of income and they will be eager to cultivate more.”

Diệp said selling local agricultural products on the digital platform brought a new buying experience for modern consumers.

“Saigon Co.op is a trusted buying destination while MoMo, with more than  二0 million users, has helped the progra妹妹e create a large-scale buying of the products,公众he said.
