Many netizens were anxious
"Can you still eat lychees happily this year?"
Lychee: It's a bit difficult
The reduction of production is a foregone conclusion
Cinnamon flavor or "hard to find a fruit"
As the saying goes, "China's lychee looks at Guangdong", Guangdong's lychee production accounts for nearly sixty percent of the country's output, and 90% of the counties and districts in Guangdong Province are lychee producing areas.
According to the forecast of the National Lychee Longan Industry Technology R&D Center, the total output of lychee in the country this year is expected to be 1.78 million tons, a decrease of 45.94% compared with last year. Among them, Guangdong, as the largest lychee producing area in the mainland, is expected to produce 876,400 tons in 2024, a decrease of 51.22% from 2023.
At present, the reduction of lychee production this year is a foregone conclusion, and it will be difficult to achieve "lychee freedom".
The reduction in lychee production is also divided into types. The reporter found in Zengcheng Xianji Lychee Expo Park that the early-maturing lychee variety Feizixiao was not much different from last year's output.
Mr. Lin, a staff member of Zengcheng Xianji Lychee Expo Park, told a reporter from Shenzhen Satellite TV & One Shenzhen client: "Although the yield reduction of the early-maturing lychee variety Feizixiao fluctuates less, and there is not much difference from last year's output, the yield of other lychee varieties has decreased significantly. ”

According to Mr. Lin, the overall output of many late-maturing lychee varieties this year has been greatly reduced, and the output of three kinds of lychees, namely Guiwei, glutinous rice balls, and Xianjinfeng, may only be one or two percent of last year, especially Guiwei lychees, which are basically out of harvest in southern Guangdong.
"The reduction in lychee production will inevitably affect the price, and the listing price of lychee will be significantly increased this year," Mr. Lin said.
When it comes to the reasons for the reduction of lychee production, experts believe that on the one hand, the low temperature accumulated temperature when lychee flowering this year is insufficient, resulting in a low flowering rate of lychee; On the other hand, the rainy weather also has a certain impact on the fruit setting rate.
Shenzhen's Nanshan Lychee is the first lychee product in China to obtain geographical indication protection, and it is also the only national geographical indication product in Shenzhen. Xili Fruit Farm is the largest lychee production base in Shenzhen, with more than 20,000 lychee trees planted. What is the yield of Nanshan lychee this year?
"I have been growing lychees in Nanshan for more than 20 years, and it is extremely rare to see this situation like this year." Speaking of the current situation of Nanshan lychee flowering, Zeng Yani, a staff member of the scientific research department of Xili Fruit Farm, could not hide her loss.

In Xili fruit farm, the overall flowering rate of glutinous rice balls is less than 20 percent, the osmanthus flower spikes are sporadically hung on the branches, and the overall flowering rate is less than 1 percent.
Not enough lychees to eat this year?
"Frozen sleep magic" allows you to eat last year's
Yes, you read that right
Fresh lychees are less
But there is also "Frozen Sleeping Lychee" to eat
Some netizens couldn't help but ask, what kind of novel fruit is this?
It is understood that in June last year, Guangdong used ultra-low temperature freeze-dormancy locking technology to preserve two or three hundred tons of freshly picked lychees, which have been put on the market one after another. When the "Frozen Sleeping Lychee" is thawed and eaten, the color is as bright red as a fresh lychee, the flesh is still crystal clear, and the nutritional quality can be maintained at more than ninety percent.
But for the "Lychee of Frozen Sleep"
Netizens have mixed reviews
Some netizens said that "technology changes life"
But there are also many netizens who think
"Lychees should be eaten fresh"
The first lychee of the year
Have you eaten it?
