Coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the world today, with global consumption of more than 1.5 billion cups a day. To meet the global demand for coffee, 25 million farmers in more than 80 countries are engaged in coffee cultivation. At present, the global annual output of coffee exceeds 8 million tons, making coffee the most important agricultural product in the world.

Current situation of Coffee cultivation in China

Coffee growing areas in China are now mainly distributed in Yunnan and Hainan, as well as a little in Fujian and Guangdong. Among them, Yunnan coffee planting area of more than 1.4 million mu, output of more than 80,000 tons, accounting for more than 99% of China's coffee planting area and output, is the largest coffee producing area in China.

As some coffee companies step up efforts to open up raw material producing areas in Yunnan, Yunnan small-grain coffee is also sold to Europe and more than 20 countries and regions such as the United States, Japan and South Korea.

The factors of the rise of Coffee in China

A unique geographical location

The western and southern parts of Yunnan Province are located between 15 °N and the Tropic of Cancer, most of which are 1000-2000 meters above sea level. The topography is mainly mountainous and sloping, with large undulation, fertile soil, sufficient sunshine, rich rainfall and large temperature difference between day and night.

International form and Government support

The increase in international and domestic demand for coffee has stimulated the development of domestic coffee cultivation. Government support in China's coffee-growing areas has spawned a number of excellent coffee companies, and the higher return on coffee than other crops is prompting more and more Chinese farmers to switch to coffee. Farmers get twice as much income from coffee as tea under the same acreage.

Contribution of large International Coffee companies to Coffee cultivation in China

Obviously, the participation of big coffee companies has played a catalytic role in the development of coffee in Yunnan, promoting local coffee cultivation and overall economic development. After entering the region for more than 20 years, Yunnan has developed a booming and profitable producing area of high-quality small-grain coffee beans from a traditional tea-growing area.

The Future of Coffee cultivation in China

The overall development of coffee industry in China and the world will certainly lead Chinese coffee cultivation to a bright future.

Gradually improving the quality and flavor characteristics of coffee beans is the key factor to create a reputation among global coffee buyers and lovers, and ultimately promote the growth of coffee bean demand in China.

It is believed that in the near future, the current situation of infighting in the domestic coffee industry will be broken, and there will be several powerful coffee companies that can represent China's coffee industry, leading Chinese coffee cultivation to the road of sustainable development.
