Abstract: Using Fujian Agricultural Production StatisticsRural Statistical Yearbook of Fujian Province, Fujian Rural Economic Yearbook and Fujian Economic and Social Statistical Yearbook as statistical materials, the productions and acreages of longan in Fujian Province in every 5 years were statistical analyzed since 1976 to 2010. The results showed that longan was a special local variety of Fujian Province, which mostly planted in costal areas. In 1976, the proportion of production and acreage of logan in Fujian costal areas accounted for 89.13% and 95.83%, respectively, of the total values in Fujian Province. After 35 years’ development, in 2010, the production and acreage of logan were 51.9 thousand hm2 and 192.4 thousand tons, and the production and acreage in costal areas were slightly reduced to 73.88% and 79.82%, respectively. The proportion of longan production and acreage in Quanzhou, Putian and Xiamen were significantly declined in 2010 compared with that in 1976. Meanwhile, the proportion of longan production in Fuzhou, Zhangzhou and Ningde steadily increased after 35 years’ development. A comparison of the change of longan yield in Fujian coastal areas showed that longan had a common phenomenon of alternate bearing. Compared with 1976, the yield of Quanzhou and Xiamen declined obviously.
