Caught between plague and cyclone

Madagascar, the number one litchi supplier to the European market, registered a fairly similar 2017-18 campaign to the previous one in terms of volume. The estimated total for this last campaign was 18 220 tonnes, as opposed to 17 970 tonnes in 2016-17. This marginal difference highlights the great stability of the markets’ absorption capacities of this product for the past six years, the overall rise being barely 2 000 tonnes, with slight fluctuations between campaigns. While the 2017-18 season seems to be a near-facsimile of the previous one, both in terms of volume and economic results, it is considerably different in terms of how it unfolded.
