How to Set Up a Lychee Processing Unit:

After carrying out the feasibility study on the processing unit regarding the raw material supply, marketing, capital investment and legal requirements, the processing unit should be located near to the lychee growing area to minimize post-harvest losses and to keep the fruit in better condition. Then the layout of the processing plant has to be planned for washing, sorting and peeling, deseeding and pulping, juice extraction, drying, canning and cold storage. Essential machinery includes fruit washing, grading, pulping, pasteurizing, dehydrating, filling and refrigeration. For obtaining quality produce from fruit processing industries, and its acceptance into the market, food safety standards such as FSSAI, HACCP and ISO should be adhered to. Quality lychees should be procured. Good relations should be formed with farmers/lychee cooperative societies. Technically qualified technicians and trained labor should be employed with good hygiene. Invest in waste management strategies for peels and seeds that result in by-products. Invest in packaging that adds to the value of the product as well as maintains the shelf life of the product. Establish a thorough marketing strategy to serve the retail, export and food service markets and ensure steady flow of profitable products and establish a brand reputation for lychee processing.

What is Driving the Lychee Processing Market?

The growth in this market is due to the high market demand for ready to eat processed fruit products and tropical fruit-based drinks and desserts. Urbanization and income growth have led to the increase in consumption of the processed lychee products like canned lychees, lychee juices, syrups, jams, preserved fruits, and frozen pulp. The multiple health benefits of lychee such as the high content of vitamin C, antioxidants and being hydrating have contributed to the increase of the global lychee juice market. The growth of the food & beverage industry, especially in Asia-Pacific and developing countries, is expected to increase the demand for value-added lychee product. Improvement in food processing, storage and packaging of lychee products has prolonged the shelf life and quality and enabled larger volumes to be shipped and exported. Growth of e-commerce and modern retail has also enabled more access to overseas markets. The remainder of the growth in the processed lychee market is driven by food processing companies and government efforts to promote the agro-processing sector. Food processors convert seasonal surplus production of fresh lychees into long shelf-life products, thereby reducing post-harvest waste. These factors drive the continued growth of the global lychee processing market.
