Enormous losses for the production of lychees

Unusual rains resulted in heavy losses for the production of lychees.

The region of Muzaffarpur, in the state of Bihar, north-east India, is known as the N ° 1 region for lychees. This year, abnormal rainfalls, well before the monsoon, have jeopardized the production of lychees. Producers estimated the losses more than 50% of the crop.

Lychee that needs a high temperature and a windy weather before the harvest had to face rain and moisture. The parasites attacked the fruits that began to rot and fall from the trees. The producers harvested fruit as quickly as possible to avoid further losses.
