Yongde County, Lincang Daily — Recently, the coffee at Dahongshan in Chonggang Township, Yongde County has entered the harvest period, with growers seizing the farming window to pick the cherries, and the mountains and fields are alive with a bustling harvest scene.

This year, all 24,265.5 mu of newly planted coffee in Yongde County have been intercropped under Lincang macadamia forests, building a three-dimensional mountain farming system of “nuts above, coffee below — using the short cycle to sustain the long, complementing the short with the long,” so that one mu of land yields two incomes.

To give growers a “reassurance pill,” Yongde County has improved its benefit-linkage mechanism, locking in sales channels and stabilizing prices through purchase agreements. All eight townships (towns), 43 village collectives and 2,127 farming households across the county have signed coffee-industry benefit-linkage agreements, with a total contracted area of 25,103 mu, and signed coverage of all put-into-production coffee has been achieved.

In recent years, Yongde County has intensified its coffee-industry development — from selecting fine varieties and managing meticulously, to deep processing and brand-building — and has simultaneously shored up its processing shortfalls. Across the county, 25,400 mu of coffee bases have obtained organic-conversion certification; main cultivars such as Sarchimor and Catimor are laid out in gradient alongside specialty varieties such as Colombia, Geisha and Bourbon, with improved-variety share above 95%. As of now, the county’s coffee planting area is 65,153.49 mu, with 16,905 mu in production; fresh-cherry output is 11,421 tonnes and green-bean output 2,538 tonnes, with 24,265.5 mu of integrated macadamia-coffee intercropping; in the first three quarters, green-bean output reached 702.3 tonnes, an 80.83% year-on-year increase.
