Core Viewpoint - The current season for lychee has arrived, with prices significantly dropping due to increased supply from major production areas, leading to a forecast of further price reductions as more lychees come to market [1][2][3]. Price Trends - The price of lychee has decreased by approximately 40% compared to the initial market entry, with current prices ranging from 25 to 30 yuan per kilogram for the main varieties, Feizixiao and Baitangying [1][2]. - In Changsha, the price of early-season lychee has dropped from 70 yuan per kilogram to around 30 yuan, indicating a significant price reduction as supply increases [2]. - In Xiamen, the price of lychee has halved year-on-year, with promotional prices as low as 7.98 yuan for 250-gram packages, reflecting a rapid decline in prices over a short period [3]. Supply Factors - The increase in lychee supply is attributed to a bumper harvest expected in 2025, following a low production year in 2024, with Guangdong's production alone estimated at 2.12 million tons [3]. - Favorable weather conditions, including a warm and dry winter, have contributed to higher flowering and fruiting rates for lychee trees this year [3].
