Muzaffarpur Shahi Litchi Bihar

Muzaffarpur district in Bihar is home to the world-famous Shahi Litchi, prized for its exceptional sweetness, thin skin, and small seed. GI-tagged, Shahi litchi is exclusively grown in the Muzaffarpur, Vaishali, and East Champaran belt in north Bihar. The crop ripens in late May-June and employs over 1 million workers in picking, sorting, and packing. Litchi is Bihar's most valuable horticultural export. Processing units in Muzaffarpur produce litchi juice, preserve, and dried litchi for export to Gulf and European markets.
