Abstract: Excerpts from the report: The United States produces only a limited quantity of lychees, most of which are consumed fresh. Production in Florida continues to increase, especially in protected areas of southern Florida. Due to the perishable nature of fresh lychees, most Florida fruit marketed outside the State is shipped by air freight. The present study, which was undertaken at the request of the Florida Lychee Growers Association, was made to determine the value of polyethylene packaging at various storage temperatures and during air and truck shipment.
