Hainan coffee planting history is very simple, four words "industry save the country". It is related to Mr. Chen Xianzhang's deeds. Hainan coffee is not small coffee-Arabica coffee, but medium-grain coffee-Carnifra coffee, also known as Robusta coffee. People who often drink coffee know that Robusta coffee is bitter and astringent and difficult to swallow. However, people in Southeast Asia like to drink this. They fry coffee beans in an iron pan, plus butter, white sugar, salt, condensed milk, etc. I think some people already know about it here. Yes, The most typical is Malaysian white coffee-I am not talking about instant coffee, do not pretend to understand, friends who have been to Southeast Asia should have drunk that kind of thick and sweet coffee. Hainan is a place suitable for growing medium-sized coffee, which is more suitable than Southeast Asia. Therefore, Hainan coffee was mostly exported to Southeast Asia at that time. In Xinglong and Fushan, Hainan, where coffee was widely planted in those years, the area of coffee plantations is decreasing year by year, but what remains is also fried coffee beans according to Southeast Asian methods.

"Xinglong coffee is world-class. I've drunk a lot of foreign coffee, but our own coffee tastes better." February 7, 1960-Prime Minister visits Xinglong Farm and drinks Xinglong coffee with great appreciation. A cup of fragrant coffee, an amiable prime minister, wrote a good name for Xinglong Coffee.

According to introduction, Xinglong coffee in its heyday, planting area of more than 4000 acres, farms everywhere coffee gardens. Coffee is grown in every household on the farm, and coffee income is the mainstay of farmers 'income.

Xinglong Coffee was settled in Xinglong, Hainan Province in 1953, when Xinglong Overseas Chinese Farm was just established. In order to realize the practice of "short-term growth", that is, short-term crop income such as coffee, citronella and rice was used to make up for long-term crop income such as rubber, Xinglong began to introduce coffee planting from Chengmai Fushan.

Xinglong coffee was once the flag product of Hainan coffee brand. Today, at Xinglong Farm, there is a stone tablet erected to commemorate Premier Zhou Enlai's visit to Xinglong Coffee Garden.

Fifty-five years later, the monument is still standing, the story is still circulating, but the coffee garden has disappeared and replaced by a lush rubber forest.

At that time, the planting area of coffee was very large, and the whole Xinglong area had more than 3000 mu. In order to ensure the quality of coffee beans, coffee beans are ripe one grain, pick one grain, at that time workers were too busy, farm students often half a day to come to the plantation to pick coffee. After the 1990s, with the continuous decline of coffee bean prices, the planting area of Xinglong coffee has been decreasing continuously. Up to now, the coffee planting area in Xinglong area has been less than 1,000 mu.

However, up to now, with the rise and fall of the market, Xinglong Coffee, once popular, faces the market bottleneck of sharp decline in planting area, shrinking production capacity, uneven product quality and gradually weakening brand influence.

In many large supermarkets, we can often see all kinds of Xinglong coffee brands: Xinglong Mountain Coffee, Xinglong Authentic Coffee, Xinglong Charcoal Coffee, Xinglong Pure Coffee... If you look carefully at the product introduction, the origin is Haikou, Qionghai, Wenchang and other places.

"Strictly speaking, these products are fake Xinglong products. If the government doesn't stop them, sooner or later, Xinglong Coffee's brand will be destroyed." Qiu Xiaofeng, president of Xinglong Coffee Industry Association, said that due to limited production, the market is a lot of Xinglong coffee brand products are made of foreign coffee beans from Yunnan, Vietnam and other places as raw materials, such products from taste, quality are not as good as authentic Xinglong coffee, but implicated Xinglong coffee reputation.
