Coffee is native to Ethiopia in central northern Africa, located at latitude 6-9 ° N and Tokyo 34-40 ° C, at an altitude of 1300-1900 meters, with rainfall of 1600-2000 millimeters and an average annual temperature of 20 ℃ in tropical rainforests. Coffee has specific requirements for environmental conditions, preferring calm winds, cool temperatures, shaded or semi shaded environments. In China, the provinces suitable for planting this coffee are mainly Yunnan, Hainan, and Guangdong. Among them, Yunnan is the largest coffee bean planting base in China, accounting for more than 98% of the total coffee bean production in China.
Before 1991, Yunnan coffee mainly cultivated two classic high-quality coffee varieties, Typica and Bourbon. Later, the Catimor series varieties (with stronger antiviral ability and higher yield) were introduced from Kenya. Due to the similar morphology and habits of these two varieties, they were often mixed for cultivation. At present, the most widely planted variety in Yunnan is Catimor, and there are also a small amount of Typica and Bourbon planted in Baoshan area.
At present, coffee cultivation in Yunnan has spread to Lincang, Dehong Prefecture, Pu'er, Baoshan and other places. Among them, Dehong Prefecture is the birthplace of coffee in China, with an altitude of 1000 to 1600 meters and a coffee plantation covering 2000 hectares. More importantly, the majority of coffee is grown organically here, making it one of the finest coffees in the world; Pu'er is the capital of coffee and an important coffee producing area in China, with the largest planting area, highest yield, and best quality. It is also an important distribution center for international coffee business; Baoshan City is most famous for its small grain coffee, which took its first step in the late 1950s and quickly received positive feedback from London. In 1980, it was recognized as the "crown of national coffee" at the National Coffee Conference. In December 2010, Baoshan Small Grain Coffee obtained A-level certification and passed the process of the China National Standards Administration, which is considered a product reflecting China's national geographical indication.
2、 Development History
In 1904, the first coffee seedling in Chinese history was planted in Zhukula Village, Binchuan County, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, opening the history of coffee planting in Yunnan. In 1951, Dehong Luxi Cotton Experiment Station introduced coffee seedlings for the first time and carried out productive planting. Around 2000, the development of Yunnan's coffee industry was deeply linked to international coffee companies such as Nestle, and widely planted the Katim variety suitable for instant coffee raw materials. The purchase price was mainly based on international coffee futures prices. In 2011, Yunnan coffee bean prices reached a high level, but then ushered in a trough period of about 8 years, with situations such as switching to other economic crops, abandoning management, and abandoning harvesting. This prompted relevant parties in Yunnan's coffee industry to reflect on the industry development model and recognize that… We cannot rely solely on international futures prices, but should pay attention to quality improvement and brand building, Start exploring the development path of specialty coffee.
In recent years, the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee and Government have attached great importance to the development of the coffee industry and introduced policies such as the "Six Measures for Coffee" to guide the industry towards high-quality development. Each production area actively designates suitable planting areas for premium coffee, promotes variety upgrading, and improves the rate of premium coffee and deep processing. At the same time, the integration of the three industries such as coffee plantations has emerged, and Yunnan coffee has entered domestic and international markets through e-commerce, exhibitions, and other channels, gradually expanding its brand influence and moving towards the goal of becoming an international emerging boutique coffee production area.
3、 Industrial chain
The upstream of Yunnan's coffee industry mainly includes coffee cultivation, procurement, and green bean trading; The midstream of the industry is the coffee processing stage, which includes initial and deep processing of coffee. Initial processing mainly includes processes such as peeling, degumming, pre drying, and drying (air drying) of fresh coffee fruits, while deep processing products cover the entire chain of processing systems such as baking, cold extraction, and instant product development; The downstream of the industry mainly includes online and offline sales channels such as coffee shops, convenience stores, supermarkets, e-commerce, as well as end consumers.
With the increasing popularity of coffee culture in China, consumers' coffee consumption habits have gradually shifted from occasional enjoyment to daily necessities. According to statistics, the number of coffee consumers in China will reach 417 million in 2024, a year-on-year increase of 4.47%. The coffee consumption group in China continues to expand, bringing broad growth space for the development of Yunnan's coffee industry.
4、 Market Policy
In recent years, the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee and Government have attached great importance to the development of the coffee industry, and have successively issued a series of policies such as the "Implementation Opinions on Financial Assistance for High quality Development of the Coffee Industry in Pu'er City", the "Three Year Action Plan for Building a Coffee City in Dali Prefecture (2023-2025)", the "Three Year Action Plan for the Development of Fine Coffee Industry in Nujiang Prefecture (2023-2025)", the "Notice on Issuing the Policy Measures to Support Fund Application for Improving the Coffee Premium Rate and Deep Processing Rate in 2024", and the "Three Year Action Plan for High quality Development of Coffee Industry in Dehong Prefecture (2025-2027)" to promote the development of Yunnan's coffee industry towards high-end and premium direction.
