At present, it is the mature season of Pu'er coffee, and the red fruit looks good hanging on the coffee tree. And does this red fruit turn into "golden beans" in the farmer's pocket? At the end of 2017, the author visited several coffee enterprises in Menglian County and Lancang County, located in the "Green Triangle" of Pu'er, to see how they helped local farmers out of poverty.

Pay close attention to the quality of coffee and change the thoughts of farmers

Mengliandaya Trading Co., Ltd. is located in Mengma Town, Paliang Village, Mengma Town, Pu'er City, Yunnan Province. "Daya" is Lahu language, meaning "good". Paliang Village, where the company is located, is 1240 to 2603 meters above sea level, with an average annual temperature of 1240 ℃ and an annual rainfall of 2012 mm. It belongs to the remaining vein of the Hengduanshan Mainushan system, with a rich rock mountain in the north and a watershed in the south, dividing the rivers of the whole county into the east-west waters with the Nanlei River and the Nanka River as the mainstream. The Nanlei River flows eastward into the Lancang River into the Pacific Ocean, and the Nanka River flows westward into the Salween River into the Indian Ocean. This mountain range happens to be the watershed between the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, and Paliang Village is on this watershed, so the coffee is of high quality. The slogan of Daya Coffee is: a gift from the Pacific and Indian Ocean watershed.

The company has a total coffee base of 3300 mu, domestic 1500 mu, overseas alternative cultivation of coffee 1800 mu. Xiong Xiaoping, the person in charge, told the author that the company, centering on market demand and development trend, with "health, ecology and safety" as its business philosophy, constantly improved coffee cultivation and primary processing technology, and actively carried out coffee culture promotion.

A good ecological environment is the basis of good products. Daya Coffee not only pays attention to the construction of coffee garden on the one hand and coffee quality on the other, but also makes great efforts to get rid of poverty.

Xiong Xiaoping said: "Daya Coffee has led 269 farmers from four village groups around to shake off poverty and become rich, of which 126 households have set up archives and set up cards with about 400 people. There are three coffee processing plants and a cafe that employ eight local villagers on a long-term basis. Inward, we continue to strengthen learning, gradually change the concept of farmers, establish the idea of quality first, and further build the company's coffee brand. To the outside world, we go out, exchange and learn with our peers, and gain more good experience. "

Focus on training farmers to improve the quality of coffee

Mangzhang Coffee Manor, which is located in Mangzhang villager Group, Nayun Town, Menglian County, is a coffee enterprise integrating planting, processing and sales. The coffee garden covers an area of about 7600 mu, distributed in 8 hills, with an average elevation of more than 1100 meters and the highest elevation of 1640 meters. It is a typical high-altitude coffee farm. Because it is located at high altitude, the coffee fruit hangs for a long time and ripens late, so it has better quality, better taste and rich fruity aroma, so it is the top grade of coffee.

Mangzhang Coffee Garden was founded in January 1998, is a coffee base, coffee processing and sales in one of the large-scale wholly-owned enterprises. On January 10, 2013, Mangzhang Coffee was recognized as a member of the 4C Association by Nestle, and spoke highly of its outstanding achievements in the implementation of the 4C Code of Conduct for Sustainable Development. On January 19, 2013, after the quality appraisal of American CQI coffee, in the coffee ripe bean cup test report, the cup test score was 82.25 points, which belongs to high-quality coffee.

When I visited Mangzhang Coffee Manor, I was just in time to hold a coffee training here. Miguel Meza, a roaster from the United States, explains the quality of coffee through four factors: environment, nutrients, variety and treatment. Cups test coffee at different elevations, so that each student can understand how the difference in altitude affects the flavor of coffee. Huang Xujun, deputy secretary general of the Pu'er Coffee Association, said: "I hope that through such training, we can solve the problems encountered by the students in coffee processing, so as to stabilize the quality of Pu'er coffee and lay a solid foundation for the road to fine coffee." Hu Xixiang, owner of Mangzhang Coffee Farm, said that because there are more Rain Water this year and the color selection equipment has not been upgraded in time, it may lead to a decline in orders. Next year, we plan to purchase a Brazilian dryer and a Colombian sheller to ensure the hardware of the boutique coffee road. Secondly, we also provide a free learning platform for more farmers, integrate resources, and use technology as a software to fight poverty.

In the course of the visit, the author also found some problems in the development of Pu'er coffee industry, such as the expiration of land property rights, farmers pay more attention to immediate interests and so on. It is hoped that the government will introduce relevant policies and formulate effective measures to protect the healthy and sustainable development of Pu'er coffee industry. Let the red fruit add bricks and tiles to get rid of poverty and become rich, and depict a golden tomorrow.
