March red is the "head soup" in the lychee family, its shell color is bright red, the fruit body is hypertrophied, the flesh is thick and juicy, sweet and sour, and has a unique flavor.
Staff of the Village Committee of Zhuyuan Village, Xiancun Town, Zengcheng District: This year's original fruit hanging situation is very good, but the recent heavy rain, one-third of the fruit burst, overall will still reduce the yield, the price or 10 yuan / catty, compared with last year 5 to 6 yuan / catty, nearly doubled.
And located in Zengcheng Donglin Fruit Farm
Medium-ripe lychee varieties, cinnamon, glutinous rice balls, etc
and the late-maturing variety Xianjin Bong
The reduction in production is more obvious
Yin Yaocheng, the person in charge of the orchard: early-maturing varieties, such as Feizixiao, are better flowering, and fruit setting is also better, and it is relatively a relatively stable year, but the mid-to-late ripening lychee, like Xianjinfeng, the amount of flowering is three or four or five percent of the original, and the mid-late maturing varieties are reduced by about 20% to 30% on the basis of small years.
The reporter learned from the Municipal Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs
It is expected that the output of lychee in Guangzhou in 2024
Production is about 50% lower than last year
Lychee hanging fruit
According to the analysis of industry experts, judging from the current situation of lychee flowering in Guangdong, the reduction of lychee production this year is a foregone conclusion. According to previous years' data, Guangdong's lychee production is about 1.5 million tons, and this year it may be halved to about 700,000-800,000 tons.
According to the statistics of the National Lychee Longan Industry Technology R&D Center
This year, the total output of lychees in the country is 1.78 million tons
45.94% less than last year
Among them, the production of lychees in Guangdong and Guangxi has decreased significantly. The yield of medium and late maturing varieties such as black leaves, Huaizhi, cinnamon, glutinous rice balls, and chicken mouth lily decreased by 60%-80%.

Rushed to the hot search on multiple platforms
"Lychee in Sleep" sparked heated discussions
Lychee is sweet and juicy, but it is not easy to store, and the traditional preservation method of putting ice in a fruit basket or foam box can make the lychee fresh for about 15 days at most;
Liquid nitrogen can quickly freeze the lychee through and weaken the biochemical reaction of the lychee itself, which is the "freeze sleep" of the lychee.
Cao Yong, second-level professor of Huanong Food College and director of Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Functional Food Actives: Lychee is easy to crystallize at about -3 °C to -15 °C, and the liquid nitrogen temperature is -196 °C. Ultra-low temperature quick-freezing can quickly pass through the lychee crystallization zone, which not only prevents the lychee cell wall from breaking, but also allows the thawed lychee to better maintain the original flavor of the pulp.
