It is a tropical tree native to the Guangdong and Fujian provinces of China, where cultivation is documented from 1059 AD. China is the main producer of lychees, followed by India, other countries in Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent and South Africa China 200000 Guangdong Fujian Taiwan 131000 Tai Chung Thailand 10000 Chiang Mai, Lamphun and Fang India 90000 Bihar State

mangoes

Cultivation came later to Brazil, Bermuda, the West Indies, and Mexico, where an appropriate climate allows its growth. The mango is now cultivated in most frost-free tropical and warmer subtropical climates; almost half of the world's mangoes are cultivated in India alone, with the second-largest source being China.

sea buckthorns

Hippophae Over the past 20 years, experimental crops have been grown in the United States, one in Nevada and one in Arizona, and in several provinces of Canada.

Native to tropical Africa, the tree grows wild throughout the Sudan and was so long ago introduced into and adopted in India that it has often been reported as indigenous there also, and it was apparently from this Asiatic country that it reached the Persians and the Arabs who called it "tamar hindi" (Indian date, from the date-like appearance of the dried pulp), giving rise to both its common and generic names. Unfortunately, the specific name, "indica", also perpetuates the illusion of Indian origin. The fruit was well known to the ancient Egyptians and to the Greeks in the 4th Century B.C.

BLACKBERRY

Oregon is the predominant geographic source of cultivated U.S. blackberry production in the United States Blackberry production in Mexico has expanded enormously in the past decade.

'Tupy' has the erect blackberry 'Comanche', and a "wild Uruguayan blackberry" as parents. Mexico is the leading producer of blackberries

It is also grown in parts of Southeast Asia and abundant on the Island of Mauritius.

ACAI

a species of palm tree in the genus Euterpe cultivated for its fruit and hearts of palm Euterpe oleracea is mostly native to Brazil and Trinidad and northern South America, mainly in swamps and floodplains When three commercially available juice mixes containing unspecified percentages of açaí juice were compared for in vitro antioxidant capacity against red wine, tea, six types of pure fruit juice, and pomegranate juice, the average antioxidant capacity was ranked lower than that of pomegranate juice, Concord grape juice, blueberry juice, and red wine

acerola

native to South America, southern Mexico, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Brazil, and Central America, but is now also being grown as far north as Texas and in subtropical areas of Asia, such as India. It is known for being extremely rich in vitamin C,[4] almost as much as camu camu, although it also contains vitamins A, B1, B2, and B3, as well as carotenoids and bioflavonoids, which provide important nutritive value and have antioxidant uses Drupes are in pairs or groups of three, and each contains three triangular seeds. The drupes are juicy and very high in vitamin C (3-46 g/kg)[13] and other nutrients. They are divided into three obscure lobes and are usually acidic to subacidic, giving them a sour taste,[11] but may be sweet if grown well.
