Last year, there was a bumper harvest of lychees, and many people realized "lychee freedom". This year, Guangdong, the main producing area of lychee, is expected to reduce production due to heavy precipitation in April in some areas.

In the fruit shop near Zhangfuyuan, a bunch of green and red, plump lychees are placed in a conspicuous position, and some merchants have put up a slogan of "Concubine Smile and grab 19.8 yuan / catty". According to the stall owner, the early-maturing lychees have been on the market for more than half a month, and now they are the medium-early varieties of Feizixiao, "The lychees currently on the market are all from Hainan, Hainan has good weather and abundant sunshine, and the 'Feizixiao' produced has a sweet taste." ”

After walking through several stalls one after another, the reporter saw that the lychees in the fruit store were all Hainan concubines, and the retail price was 25 to 30 yuan a catty. In a supermarket chain in Daxinggong, the concubine smiled at 29.9 yuan for 450 grams, which was calculated at 33 yuan a catty. "There is a lot of rain in Guangdong this year, and many flowers and fruits that have been borne have been knocked out by the rain, and the next yield is less, which must be expensive." A fruit shop staff member revealed.
Lychees are generally marketed in May and June, and the market period is more than two months. Fruits that are transported long distances are put in ice, and lychees that arrive in Nanjing are usually sold within a week. Recently, a "frozen sleeping lychee on the market" news has aroused widespread attention and heated discussions, which is the use of ultra-low temperature freeze sleep lock technology in Guangdong in June last year to preserve two or three hundred tons of lychees, which have been put on the market one after another.

A reporter from Modern Express saw on an online shopping platform that there were already merchants selling sleeping lychees. For example, the concubine in Guangdong laughs and sleeps lychees for 30 yuan a catty, and the osmanthus fragrant lychee is 36 yuan a catty. 400 grams of Jinggang red glutinous lychee costs 79 yuan, which is nearly 100 yuan per catty. Lychees can be thawed naturally in the air for 30 minutes, or they can be thawed in room temperature water for 6 to 10 minutes. Some netizens commented: "Frozen sleeping lychee has high freshness and moderate sweetness" and "retains the best taste of lychee......

"At present, there is no large number of lychees in Guangdong, and the lychees in the Nanjing wholesale market are mainly fresh lychees from Hainan." Wang Rui, director of the Nanjing Zhongcai Fruit Market Business Development Office, said that the country's lychee producing areas include Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Fujian and other places. Hainan is the earliest production area of lychee, followed by Guangdong and Guangxi. At present, the early-maturing osmanthus fragrant lychee is gradually finishing, and the market is dominated by Feizixiao and white sugar poppie in Hainan production area, and when the lychee in Hainan production area is finished, the lychee in Guangdong production area will be superimposed on the market.
Wang Rui said that last year was the "big year of lychees", and the lowest wholesale price in June was only five or six yuan a catty, but this year was affected by the weather and was a "small year of lychees". However, at present, the impact of the "yield reduction" of litchi in Guangdong has not yet been felt locally, and late-maturing varieties will be more affected than early-maturing varieties.

"Now the market of lychees has changed every few days. From the price point of view, the current wholesale price of concubine laughing lychee is more than 20 yuan a catty, and the white sugar poppy lychee is 40 yuan a catty, an increase of two or three percent over the same period last year. It is expected that the price of a large number of lychees will be lower than the current price, but it will still maintain a high price. Wang Rui said.
