Litchis, Litchi chinensis, are indigenous to subtropical southern China and were first imported to South Africa from Mauritius in the 1870s (ARC, 2005). Of the 7 000 tons of litchis produced annually in South Africa, with a gross value exceeding R25 million, about 60 percent come from Mpumalanga, 38 percent from Limpopo and 2 percent from KwaZulu-Natal (Statistics SA, 2002; NDA, 2005).
