Canned Lychee in Light Syrup

The lychee or litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) is native to southern China and northern Vietnam, and wild trees can still be seen growing in rainforest up to about 300-500 m in many areas. For example, in parts of southern China, including Hainan Island, lychee is the dominant species in many rainforests.

The lychee has a long history in southern China, with unofficial records going back 1766 BC. Production is well-developed with some 60-70 000 tonnes a year from 6 provinces, especially Guangdong, Fujian and Guangxi. Lychee is also popular in Vietnam, but the industry is less developed. References in medical text books indicate that commercial production in Vietnam goes back about 500 years. Production in 1990 was estimated to be about 6 000 tonnes from 1 500 ha of bearing trees. There was also 1 000 ha of non-bearing trees and 500 ha of new plantings.

Lychee trees can be found throughout much of northern Vietnam. The major area of production is in a radius of 50-150km from Hanoi (Lat. 21°N) especially in Nam Thanh District in Hai Hung Province, Luc Ngan district in Ha Bac Province, and to a lesser degree in Dong Trien District in Quang Nihn Province and Ao Chau district in Vinh Province. There are also some lychees near Hanoi and further south in Ha Nam Nihn and Nghe Tinh Province (19°N latitude). However, generally, lychee crops well over a narrow area (Lat. 20-22°N), at an elevation of 100 m above sea level. Within a district, the lychee farms are also concentrated in a small area of each other. Currently most lychee production appears to come from small farms and co-operatives with many plantings of perhaps 50-100 trees (1-2 ha), although larger state farm plantings dominate in Dong Trien District in Quang Ninh Province.
