About Litchi

Export to tourist areas

Every year, millions of tourists from Sweden and the Nordic countries travel to warmer regions. With this wave of people also comes a great demand for goods from the Scandinavian countries.

The local food culture is of course most important during the holidays, but many also long for good coffee, some well-known sweets and snacks, crispbread, etc.

Litchi Foods AB as coordinator

Litchi Foods is the coordinator of Swedish / Nordic food exports to the tourism industry in various parts of the world.

In our work, we ensure that all stages work for an efficient
distribution from food producers to wholesalers, department store chains and hotels in the tourist markets.Litchi can today offer products from 25 different Scandinavian suppliers. We deliver to classic tourist areas such as Crete, Rhodes, Gran Canaria, Mallorca, Tenerife and Cyprus. 

Litchi Foods is perhaps the only one that can offer such a wide range of, above all, Swedish food products to wholesalers and hotels in tourist areas in several different countries.

The goods end up in shops and hotels

The goods end up in local shops in the tourist resorts. For efficient distribution, Litchi Foods delivers to wholesalers who distribute locally. The goods reach their target group here and are bought by the holiday-celebrating Scandinavian tourists.

For the foodservice sector, we deliver directly to larger hotels.
