Cultivation of ● Dehong Coffee

Dehong is one of the earliest areas in China to introduce coffee. It was introduced from Myanmar to Ruili in 1914 and introduced to the farm in the 1960s, but it was not successful. Since the reform and opening up, with the promotion and support of the "18" biological project in Yunnan Province, especially in 1998, the provincial government issued the "opinions of the people's Government of Yunnan Province on speeding up the Development of Coffee Industry" (Yunzhengfa [1998) 116). Proposed to further strengthen the cultivation of coffee industry, Dehong coffee industry ushered in the spring of development.

Dehong coffee cultivation is mainly driven by the leading enterprise Hougu Company. by the end of 2016, Dehong's coffee planting area accounted for 20% of the national area, which is the only "Ruili Coffee Germplasm Resource Garden of the Ministry of Agriculture" in the country. at the same time, it also has strong coffee engineering, technology research centers and other scientific research institutions. By 2016, the planting of 220000 mu of coffee in Dehong Prefecture has led more than 60, 000 households and nearly 300000 farmers to increase their income and become rich, realizing an agricultural output value of 1 billion yuan and an industrial output value of 1.5 billion yuan, which has formed an industrial system from planting, processing and marketing.

● Dehong small grain coffee originates from Africa and Ethiopia and is the main cultivated variety in the world. In 1951, coffee seed was first introduced to Dehong Luxi Cotton cropping Experimental Station for productive cultivation. The seedlings were planted in 6 mu and grew well. In 1956, the Dehong Prefecture Committee decided to vigorously develop coffee in the whole state, and held a training course on coffee planting techniques throughout the state, so that small-grain coffee was widely developed in the whole state. In 1958, Dehong Prefecture established a state coffee production base in Mangshi, carried out research on coffee planting technology and pest control technology, and conquered coffee seed selection, high-yield cultivation, pest control and other topics, so that scientific coffee planting technology has been popularized among the people of all ethnic groups. In 1960, the planting area of coffee in the state has reached 15000 mu, with an output of more than 40 tons. Dehong small grains of coffee are processed into coffee powder in Shanghai, packed in tin cans and exported to London. At the International Exposition in 1963, Dehong small Grain Coffee was rated as a high-quality product with rich aroma, slightly sour and delicious, and gained a reputation comparable to that of Lanshan Coffee. In 1966, the output of coffee beans in the whole state reached more than 100 tons. due to the decline in international market prices, the market was not smooth, coupled with the reasons of the "Cultural Revolution", scientific research and production were seriously frustrated, and Dehong small-grain coffee production entered a low ebb. Most of the land where coffee was originally grown has been deserted.

After the third Plenary session of the 11th CPC Central Committee, the domestic and foreign coffee market demand increased, Yingjiang Luxi and other farms and people began to vigorously develop the cultivation of Dehong small-grain coffee, a total of dry coffee beans Qiu tons, and achieved better economic benefits.
