Lychees Prices, Demand and Supply Overview
Lychees are a subtropical fruit consumed fresh and processed into canned, dried and juice products. China is the largest producer, followed by India and Vietnam, while Madagascar is the principal counter-seasonal exporter to Europe. Thailand, the Netherlands and Ecuador lead exports, and the United States, the Netherlands and Germany lead imports.
Pricing has risen modestly in 2026 on a short Chinese crop. The global average increased from USD 1,467 per tonne in the fourth quarter of 2025 to USD 1,494 in the first quarter and USD 1,521 in the second, with China at USD 1,552. Indian wholesale prices were USD 1,650 per tonne in January, USD 1,660 in February, USD 1,910 in March and USD 1,660 in April, while Thailand moved from USD 1,620 to USD 1,630, USD 1,570 and USD 1,560.
Lychees Prices in October 2026
As of the latest quarterly assessment, fresh lychees are benchmarked at about USD 1,521 per tonne globally, with Madagascar at USD 1,976, China at USD 1,552, India at USD 1,375 and Vietnam at USD 1,273.
- Short Chinese crop: Flowering was poor in Hainan and Guangdong, with some orchards reporting little or no flowering, and by June Guangdong output was estimated about 40 percent lower and the Guiwei and Nuomici varieties about 80 percent lower.
- Adverse weather: Heavy rain in southern China from May was forecast to last to the end of June, following a warm winter, drought and the off-year cycle, while ripening in Hainan started more than ten days earlier than in 2025.
- Vietnamese decline: The Bac Ninh crop fell about 36 percent to 131,560 tonnes, first-half exports declined 51 percent to USD 16.4 million, and farm-gate prices were reported at USD 3,440 to 4,590 per tonne.
- Madagascar prices: The 2025 Madagascan farm-gate price rose to about USD 480 per tonne from USD 220 in 2024, and exports to Europe were projected at close to 20,000 tonnes, which raised the cost of counter-seasonal supply.
Supplier news: Orsero, through Simba, was appointed in April by the Groupement des Exportateurs de Litchis to manage Madagascar's lychee campaign in Europe, and Bac Ninh authorities plan to diversify beyond China, which supports prices in the short term, while broader export channels and Madagascan volumes should moderate them over the long term.
Lychees Price Forecast for 2026
Supply and demand should stay moderately tight through H2 2026, with the harvest-season weather running a bit tighter than usual across several producing regions. Madagascar and China both kept the export and domestic demand steady through H1, and that's likely to continue. Vietnam's export volumes kept building as well, while India's large domestic crop kept it the most affordable of the four. None of the four markets we track is showing signs of genuine disruption heading into the back half of the year.
Buyers relying on Madagascar's counter-seasonal supply specifically should keep an eye on air-freight capacity and costs, since that logistics chain is what makes European winter access to fresh lychees possible at all.
The cold-chain and canning capacity across the major Asian producing regions bears watching too, since it directly determines how much of each harvest can reach fresh or preserved markets beyond the immediate growing area.
What could push prices higher? A weaker-than-expected harvest in any of the major producing regions, or a disruption to air-freight capacity serving Madagascar's export trade. What could pull them lower? A stronger harvest than currently expected across the major producing regions.
| Region | 2026 Price Range (USD/MT) | Outlook |
| Global Average | 1,500 - 1,625 | Tight harvest-season conditions and steady export demand support |
| China | 1,530 - 1,660 | Enormous domestic production base |
| India | 1,355 - 1,470 | Large domestic crop keeps India most affordable |
| Vietnam | 1,255 - 1,360 | Growing export volumes |
| Madagascar | 1,955 - 2,120 | Counter-seasonal export demand drives the steepest premium |

Madagascar carries the steepest premium on its counter-seasonal export trade into European winter markets. China sits in a firmer middle on its enormous domestic base. India and Vietnam price lowest.
The harvest-season weather across the major producing regions matters most, followed by the fresh-market and export demand and the cold-chain and air-freight capacity available to move the highly perishable fruit.
China grows the largest volume by a wide margin, most of it consumed domestically, while India and Vietnam round out the other major Asian producing regions, and Madagascar has built a distinctive counter-seasonal export trade.
Monthly, though our analysts flag any material shift in harvest-season or air-freight conditions between scheduled updates, so buyers are never working from stale figures.
The quarterly trends and forecasts help time fresh-market and export purchases around the harvest cycles in the major producing regions. Watching air-freight capacity serving Madagascar can give an early read on counter-seasonal supply availability.
Madagascar's Southern Hemisphere harvest lands during the Northern Hemisphere winter, letting it supply fresh lychees to European markets at a time of year when no Asian producing region has fruit available, and the air-freight costs required to move such a perishable fruit that distance are built directly into the premium it commands.
