From September 18 to 20, the 2026 Yunnan Coffee Expo was held in Kunming. As the coffee guest-of-honor country of this edition, Colombia organized seven quality local coffee enterprises to exhibit, showcasing fine Geisha beans, freeze-dried coffee, distinctive flavored coffees, and other products, while concurrently holding the 2026 China-Colombia Coffee Industry Promotion Event to build a professional platform for technological exchange and trade matching between the two countries’ coffee industries.

During the expo, government representatives, industry experts, and coffee practitioners from China and Colombia held in-depth exchanges on topics such as technology empowerment for coffee, full-chain utilization, and brand-culture integration, exploring deeper and pragmatic cooperation in areas including co-building coffee standards, deep processing, and talent cultivation. Colombia is the world’s largest exporter of washed arabica coffee; relying on the unique natural conditions of the Andes Mountains, it has established a mature planting-protection system, quality-evaluation mechanism, and market-oriented brand operation model.

“From 2022 to 2025, China’s coffee imports from Colombia grew by about 105%, with import value reaching 160 million US dollars,” introduced Oscar Felipe Rueda, Commercial Counselor of the Embassy of the Republic of Colombia in China. He noted that the Chinese market has become one of the important emerging markets for Colombian coffee exports, and that Colombia ranks as China’s third-largest coffee supplier.

“Coffee is an important bridge for global cooperation. Many countries, including China, now attach growing importance to Colombian coffee,” said Danny Cruz, Minister-Counselor of the Embassy of the Republic of Colombia in China. He stated that future cooperation in the coffee industry should be strengthened across scientific research, cultural exchange, and economic and trade cooperation, further expanding the space for collaboration in deep processing, logistics technology, and e-commerce.

“The next round of growth dividends in the coffee industry lies in Asia, and China is the core engine of global coffee consumption potential,” said Li Hong, vice president of Yunnan Agricultural University and head of the Yunnan Provincial Coffee Industry Expert Group. He noted that the entry of Colombian and other globally important producing regions’ coffees into the Chinese market helps domestic consumers taste more coffee flavors from around the world.
