The province of Manica in Central Mozambique is planning to export 600 tonnes of lychee per year to various European countries, including England, France, Spain, Italy, and Germany. This is a significant increase from the 400 tonnes exported in the previous harvest, with a total of 17,121 tons expected to be sold in the current campaign, marking a 6.3% increase from the previous year. Due to the high perishability of lychee, the governor emphasized the need for improved storage conditions and modernization of processing units to increase shelf life and profitability. The provincial government is also committed to facilitating financing for expansion of production areas and modernization of conservation and processing systems.
