Baoshan City in Yunnan Province is an important producing area well suited to premium small-grain coffee, and its unique climate is also suitable for growing a wide variety of fine coffees from around the world. In recent years, Baoshan has systematically advanced on multiple fronts—variety breeding, standards and branding, deep processing, coffee-tourism integration, and talent and finance—driving the coffee industry’s transformation and upgrading from a raw-material base toward specialization, branding and integration, to build a “hub for China’s specialty coffee.” According to statistics, in the first three quarters of 2026, Baoshan’s small-grain coffee planting area reached 189,000 mu, with output of 26,400 tonnes and a comprehensive output value of 15.7 billion yuan.
