● »single variety problem

Due to the influence of large-scale infection disaster caused by the iron card and bourbon varieties selected in the early large-scale cultivation of Yunnan coffee, both Nestl é and Yunnan Agricultural Reclamation have changed to promote the use of GATIMOR P series varieties with high yield and resistance to disease. Now more than 90% of Yunnan producing areas are Katimo. Not to mention the great difference between Katimo variety and tin pickup, bourbon flavor, as a production area with regular development prospects, a single variety has now shown an obstacle to the development of the industry.

● »the harm brought by the simple pursuit of production

As there are light selection and seedling breeding in most producing areas, heavy coffee input after production, light flavor quality, heavy output, and the use of a large amount of chemical fertilizer to promote high yield, on the surface, the yield per mu should be high in the world (with an average yield of 120-150 kg per mu). But the flavor quality has decreased. And as a result of the above reasons, the coffee plant has a sharp premature senescence. Coffee trees which usually need to be rejuvenated at the age of 15 years will decline early in 7-8 years, or even in 4-5 years. It was characterized by a sharp decline in flavor quality, a sharp decline in yield, loss of resistance to disease induction, and gradually withered. In addition, there are reasons that picking and initial processing are not fine enough, resulting in low appearance quality and internal quality of coffee.

Due to the long-term planting method of emphasizing output over quality, the overall market reaction of coffee in Yunnan has been criticized a lot, while Yunnan coffee enterprises are generally small in scale and difficult to contact the market and purchasers. More than 80% of the coffee produced is bought by several foreign traders at a lower futures price than that in New York for the same period, even though a considerable number of them can reach the quality of high-grade commercial coffee. This is a typical transaction with unequal value and price. The Yunnan coffee in circulation in the domestic market is basically left after sorting and export.

● »production costs rose in Sui year

On the other hand, due to the high production costs caused by the rising prices of the means of production and means of livelihood, curry farmers continue to lose money when the market price is on the low side: only fresh fruit picking has reached 2 yuan / kg, while each kilogram of coffee must have 6 kilograms of fresh fruit, that is, the fresh fruit picking cost of coffee is 12 yuan. Coupled with the early input, care costs, late processing and transaction costs, and so on, the acquisition price of 16 yuan is already a loss.

● »Control the cost and improve the quality in order to continuously improve the efficiency

Of course, the problems and difficulties are far more than these, but as long as we have a clear understanding of the direction of development, strive to control costs (not simply reduce costs), plant and process scientifically, improve product quality, and clearly recognize the need to improve production efficiency, the income of farmers can not be achieved simply by high yield, nor by simply reducing costs. In the actual operation, the production cost should be controlled, the purposeful input cost should be controlled, and the cost should be reduced scientifically. The ultimate goal is to improve product quality and make use of high-quality products to obtain economic benefits. The output of Yunnan coffee producing areas is not high in the world, so we can not use output to improve reputation and efficiency, we must make a stable quality, with relatively high quality to improve reputation and efficiency, Yunnan coffee industry can have a better prospect.

● »there is no doubt about the effect of altitude on quality.

There is a misunderstanding in the early stage of land selection in Yunnan producing areas: land can only be selected at or below 1100 meters above sea level, otherwise it is vulnerable to frost disasters, ignoring the fact that high altitude can avoid frost to grow coffee in a microclimate environment. we all know that choosing a site more than 1300 meters above sea level is easier to produce good coffee. Therefore, there is an interesting result in Yunnan producing areas: the producing areas with high scores in the raw bean competition are basically post-developed producing areas, and they are all producing areas with high altitude (of course, there are other factors with high scores, such as tree age, processing methods, etc.). Therefore, the site selection should be careful and scientific, in addition to altitude factors, but also pay attention to the surrounding environment, vegetation, soil. From the perspective of objective conditions, the differences in latitude, soil quality and mountain physiognomy in Yunnan coffee producing areas are difficult to compare with ARABIGA coffee in several well-known producing areas in the world, so it is necessary to pay more than some other producing areas to produce good coffee.

● »to face the transformation of the existing coffee garden

Yunnan producing areas should pay most attention to the transformation of coffee gardens on the existing scale and area, and how to make it more effective with the existing millions of mu of coffee is the most urgent task of Yunnan coffee industry. There must be many kinds of plants in the coffee garden to form ecology, which can not only prevent diseases and insect pests and frost injury, but also improve the flavor quality of coffee. Use fertilizer scientifically and popularize the planting of green manure, with shaded trees above and green manure covered below. Can not simply pursue the yield, under the premise of scientific planting, the output is certainly lower than the original, but the picking labor is reduced, the quality is improved, the benefit is higher than the original. Every link such as picking, peeling, drying, shelling and sorting is finely treated, so that Yunnan coffee can get universal and stable coffee, high and stable benefits and bright prospects.

● »cautious introduction of new varieties

In recent years, many enterprises have also seen the problem of a single variety and want to introduce some other varieties, but the introduction of varieties still needs to be cautious, that is, it must be scientifically introduced, that is, it must be clear that the consanguinity of the varieties can be traced back, and the planting sites of new varieties must be selected scientifically. For example, CATIMOR has different series of varieties, it is not useless, it is just a lack of knowledge.

● »being able to recognize the difficulties and problems facing us is the potential for development.

The problems and difficulties faced by Yunnan coffee are actually the development potential of Yunnan coffee. Especially due to the impact of climate warming, the global traditional Arabica (ARABICA) coffee production area is slowly decreasing, Yunnan this inland producing area will become more and more important.
