GreenPod Labs Market Insights: We recently started spending time to understand the Litchi value chain in India. Closer to about 40% of litchis are produced in Bihar, and Muzaffarpur district is the major growing belt. Challenges in the value chain: 1. Litchi growing season is between May 15th and June 20th - a very very short season. 2. Litchi's shelf life is less than 48 hours, making it hard to transport to any long distance. Thus majority of Litchis are transported by air travel 3. No proper supply chain practices such as packaging, cleaning, logistics We saw a huge opportunity in this and started working on a product to extend the shelf life of litchis at ambient temperature. We strongly believe this can create a huge impact on the ecosystem. We'd love to speak with any companies or individuals actively working in the litchi value chain.

Having explored numerous technologies but to no avail. Shelf life is The Most Important reason for poor realisation of Profits to Litchi Farmers and other stakeholders in the supply chain. Dr. Bikas Das, Director Litchi Research Institute @Muzaffarpur Bihar may be the best person to start discussion. We will be keenly looking forward to your solution.

Wish your success and it will support farmers a lot if you address this problem
