During Tang Dynasty of ancient China, Lingnan lychees once raced toward Chang’an, carried by urgent dispatches across hundreds of miles. A millennium later, Guangdong’s lychees now cross the Pacific aboard by ships, appearing on the streets of New York.
The transoceanic journey of a Guangdong lychee mirrors the sophistication of cold-chain logistics, while epitomizing the sweeping panorama of agricultural exports.
From Guangdong branches to foreign supermarkets — what secrets lie within the lychee’s long voyage? How does Guangdong lychee sell to the world?
Southern Finance’s Guangdong and New York Journalists joined forces to delve into the story behind the lychee’s journey abroad over the last two months.
