Bihar is expecting a bumper Shahi (royal) litchi crop this year, as per report compiled by Muzaffarpur-based National Research Centre for Litchi (NRCL). The Centre notified that due to favourable temperature it expects at least 20 percent more litchi this time compared to last year.
It highlighted that there is a good litchi crop in most parts of northern Bihar including Muzaffarpur which accounts for more than 62 percent of the country’s litchi production. The Litchi farmers are also expecting good earnings this year due to a bumper crop.
The yield of litchis would improve with warmer weather in the coming days as the coming weeks are important for the crop.
