Guangdong Sinolychee Agricultural Group Co., Ltd. is a vertically integrated agricultural enterprise based in Foshan, Guangdong Province, China. Specializing in the large-scale cultivation, packaging, and export of premium lychee and a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, Sinolychee has emerged as a leading brand within China’s modern agricultural development sector.

Company Background
Founded in 2019, Sinolychee Agricultural Group operates under a “full industry chain” model, covering fruit cultivation, harvesting, cold-chain logistics, product branding, and export distribution. The company’s flagship product is lychee—a culturally and commercially significant fruit in China—produced across thousands of mu (Chinese acres) of orchards in Gaoming District and surrounding areas.
The brand "Li Zhi Hua Dan" (Lychee Huadan) has been established as a symbol of top-grade lychee, positioned for both high-end domestic consumption and premium export channels. The company has strategically integrated modern packaging, international food safety standards, and multi-regional sourcing to ensure product consistency and shelf-life.
