The litchi, an out of fashion product? The litchi market has been stagnating for several years. Has the trend that has been driving it since the early 2000s unravelled over time? That is the question that we can ask when we look at the evolution of the statistics over the past few decades. It seems a long time ago that this fruit was available practically year-round, albeit in variable quantities but still there. This supply employed numerous origins, given the product’s high seasonality. This production seasonality was converted into consumption seasonality. Hence litchi trading on the European market was concentrated over the end-of-year holiday period, with a calendar extending from November to February.
