The other Indian Ocean sources

The glory years, when the litchi was present practically year round, seem to be behind us. Nowadays, the end-of year holidays are the focal period for the supply of this fruit, exported mainly by the Indian Ocean sources. The other sources which once tried to impose themselves at other times of the year are now making only hesitant efforts at shipment growth, and with no real success. Thailand has reduced its shipment season, with sanitary problems appearing in the background. Only Israel is continuing its summer exports, though with more restrained volumes. As for China, Vietnam, Australia and Mexico, their supplies often remain erratic.
