According to the Thai Ministry of Commerce, the Chinese government suddenly announced that it would stop importing longan from 66 companies in Thailand from August 13, and the lifting time of the ban is uncertain. The reason is that the quality of longan exported from Thailand is not up to standard, and China has found pink scale in longan exported from Thailand.
In the first half of this year, China imported a total of 211000 tons of fresh longan, almost all from Thailand, with an import amount of US $321 million. As 70% - 80% of Thailand's longan exports are shipped to China, Thailand said that the implementation of the ban will have a great impact on Thailand's longan exports and a certain impact on Thailand's local longan prices.
August was the peak of domestic longan listing. As the production of longan this year is a big year, the price of domestic longan has been depressed since its listing. According to the statistics of litchi longan industry resource platform, the average price of longan is 2-5 yuan / kg, and even 0.8 yuan / kg in some places. As longan continues to mature, the market competition pressure will be greater at that time.
