With lychee suppliers spread across five countries, buyers can source from diverse regions to balance supply stability and mitigate risks from climate or logistics disruptions, while the wide price range of $1.5–$5.8/kg means they must closely assess supplier location and quality to avoid overpaying. However, only 30% of suppliers are business-verified and 36% phone-verified, increasing the risk of unreliable sellers—so buyers should prioritize verification checks and use trade terms like FOB or CIF to maintain control over freight and cost structure.
