Yunnan Coffee 2024: Production, Output Value and Export Data at a Glance

To judge a producing region’s supply capacity, look first at three sets of figures: how much was planted, how much was produced, and how much was sold. The following is the fundamentals of Yunnan’s coffee industry.

I. The Fundamentals (compiled from public reports)

The data source is the “2024 Yunnan Province Coffee Industry Development Report” cited in public reports. Another set of figures from the Yunnan Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (planted area 1.267 million mu, output 146,000 tonnes, agricultural output value nearly 5 billion yuan, average green bean price 41.02 yuan/kg) differs mainly due to statistical caliber and harvest timing.

II. Changes in Quality Structure

• Specialty coffee output reached 46,100 tonnes, with the specialty rate rising from less than 8% in 2021 to 31.6%.
• The deep-processing rate rose from 20% in 2021 to around 80%.
• High-quality variety plantings exceeded 150,000 mu, accounting for 12.8%, doubling from 5% at the end of 2021.

III. Export Performance

According to Kunming Customs, Yunnan exported 32,500 tonnes of coffee in 2024, up 358% year-on-year, to 29 countries and regions including the Netherlands, Germany, the United States, and Vietnam, ranking first in the country by export volume; in Q1 2025, export value reached 310 million yuan, up 122.1% year-on-year.

It should be noted that the export structure has undergone a fundamental change: before 2018, over 90% of Yunnan coffee was exported as raw material, while since 2023 about 90% of Yunnan coffee has remained in the domestic consumer market.

IV. Global Context

According to USDA reports, global coffee production in 2024/25 is about 176.2 million bags (60 kg per bag). Brazil about 66.4 million bags, Vietnam 30.1 million bags, Colombia 12.9 million bags. Yunnan’s output of around 150,000 tonnes accounts for about 2% of the global total—small but refined in scale, yet adjacent to China, a major incremental market globally.
