Cangyuan: Yanshuai Town Delivers ‘Tech Nourishment’ to Coffee Fields

At a Glance (China Coffee Network): Recently, Yanshuai Town in Cangyuan County invited technical experts from the Lincang Coffee Association to conduct a three-day, full-coverage coffee-planting training across all 22 administrative villages, delivering “scientific nutrients” directly to the fields.

Recently, Yanshuai Town in Cangyuan County invited technical experts from the Lincang Coffee Association to go deep into the front line, adhering to the principle of “supplement what is lacking, teach what is needed,” conducting a three-day, full-coverage coffee-planting technical training across all 22 administrative villages in the town, delivering “scientific nutrients” directly to the fields.

At the training site, experts adopted a combination of “thematic lectures + on-site Q&A + hands-on drills,” giving accessible explanations around key links such as integrated water-fertilizer management and green pest control. For the “difficult and complicated diseases” farmers encounter in daily management, experts “diagnosed and prescribed” one by one, ensuring trainees could understand, learn, and apply.

“We used to plant by experience, and yields never went up. After listening to the experts today, I realized how much there is to learn!” said Li Nigao, a villager from Sainong Village, holding a brand-new technical manual, excitedly.

This training covered 1,456 person-times and distributed over 200 technical manuals. Through the training, it not only effectively corrected some farmers’ traditional extensive planting mindsets but also significantly raised the scientific planting level and confidence of local coffee farmers.

Yanshuai Town will use this training as an opportunity to continuously deepen cooperation with industry associations, push the coffee industry toward standardization and specialty transformation, and truly realize rural comprehensive revitalization driven by industrial quality and efficiency improvement.
