In depth exchange meeting on premium coffee, Wa style specialty food, and ecological fruit wine.
At the event, three major sections were set up: product tasting, thematic discussions, and strategic cooperation signing. At the event, guests and research teams attending the event tasted multiple coffee samples on site, and conducted in-depth exchanges on industry difficulties such as production process optimization and innovative product development, combined with professional technology in food science.
It is reported that Filory Coffee is a brand that originated in the United States in 1917 and was fully acquired by a Chinese team in 2024. It has now developed into a coffee enterprise with an integrated supply chain system from cultivation to global sales. In Menglian Dai, Lahu and Va Autonomous County and Jiangcheng Hani and Yi Autonomous County of Pu'er City, Yunnan Province, there are over 20000 acres of self owned coffee planting bases, of which 1500 acres have obtained organic certification and planted high-quality varieties such as Guixia and Huakui.
At the symposium, the person in charge of the School of Food Science and Engineering at Kunming University of Science and Technology introduced the internal research platform, faculty reserve, and talent cultivation model of the school, and promoted cooperation channels such as technological breakthroughs, internships and practical training, and targeted talent cultivation. Each enterprise, based on their own development challenges, freely expressed their opinions on topics such as improving coffee quality, digitizing the industrial chain, and the shortage of professional operation talents. Through two-way communication between schools and enterprises, multiple adaptation and cooperation plans were finalized.
