New crop of Lychee
As the summer sun begins to shine more warmly, we extend our heartfelt wishes to all our partners, customers, and friends around the globe: Wish everything is well and better! This season marks a delightful time for fruit lovers and food enthusiasts alike—the new purchasing season for canned lychee in syrup has officially begun. With its sweet aroma, luscious texture, and versatile culinary potential, lychee (also spelled litchi) is a fruit that captures both the heart and palate.
As one of the world’s leading producers of lychee, China continues to uphold its reputation for providing high-quality lychee products to international markets. This year’s harvest looks promising, offering buyers and importers an excellent opportunity to secure premium canned lychee in syrup, available in whole and broken formats, packed in convenient sizes with a delightful balance of sweetness and flavor.
China’s Dominance in the Global Lychee Market
China has long been recognized as the largest lychee producer in the world, contributing more than half of the global supply. The tropical and subtropical climate of southern provinces like Guangdong, Fujian, Guangxi, and Hainan provides the perfect environment for growing this delicate and fragrant fruit. With centuries of cultivation knowledge and modern processing technologies, Chinese producers are uniquely positioned to deliver top-quality canned lychee products to meet global demand.
Every year, the lychee season starts around late May and continues through July, depending on the region. During this time, the fruit reaches peak ripeness, characterized by translucent white pulp, floral fragrance, and sweet juice. To preserve these sensory qualities, China’s canning facilities move quickly to process freshly harvested lychees, ensuring that every can retains the authentic taste and aroma of the fruit.
Canned Lychee in Syrup: A Convenient and Flavorful Choice
Lychee is often enjoyed fresh during the harvest season, but thanks to modern canning methods, consumers around the world can enjoy its unique flavor year-round. Canned lychee in syrup is a versatile pantry staple that delivers the essence of summer in a ready-to-eat format. Whether served as a dessert, mixed into cocktails, or used as an ingredient in recipes, canned lychee provides convenience without compromising on quality.

Drained Weight Options: 230g / 255g / 1200g / 1300g

These flexible packaging sizes and syrup concentrations cater to a wide range of applications—from retail and foodservice to large-scale manufacturing and catering.
Understanding the Specifications: Quality You Can Trust
To better understand what makes our canned lychee in syrup stand out, let’s explore each key specification:
1. Whole vs. Broken Lychee
Whole Lychee: Carefully pitted and canned to preserve the round, natural shape of the fruit. Ideal for presentation in desserts, fruit platters, and beverages.
Broken Lychee: Offers the same sweet flavor in a more economical format. Perfect for use in smoothies, baking, or as an ingredient in processed foods.
2. Net Weight and Drained Weight
567g and 2840g net weights are two of the most common global standards for canned fruit packaging. These sizes offer flexibility for both retail and foodservice channels.
The drained weight (ranging from 230g to 1300g) ensures that customers know exactly how much fruit is inside the can, excluding the syrup.
3. Brix (Sugar Content in Syrup)
Our syrup is carefully balanced to maintain the natural sweetness of lychee without overwhelming it.
A Brix range of 14–17% offers a light syrup, ideal for health-conscious consumers or culinary applications requiring subtle sweetness.
The 17–19% Brix range creates a richer, more indulgent syrup for dessert use and premium product lines.
These standards ensure that our canned lychees meet international food safety regulations and consumer expectations for flavor, texture, and appearance.
