Abstract

It is very specif ic to climate conditions like soil, temperature, rainfall and for this reason cultivation of litchi is restricted to very few countries in the world Litchi was introduced in India through Burma in the 18 century (Singh & Babita, 2002) and got spread in many countries. The total annual production of litchi worldwide is between 2.6 to 2.8 million tons (Chen & Huang, 2014). Though India and China produce 91% of litchi worldwide (Prakash , 2017; Singh & Babita, 2002), the market of this fruit is limited to local areas near its production (Singh & Babita, 2002).
