Li Guanting, founder of Aizhe Coffee, said that he, rooted in Pu 'er and with 8 years of experience in coffee green bean production and international trade, has a deeper understanding of Yunnan coffee.

"Although Yunnan coffee cultivation has a 'history' of more than 100 years, the real industrialization has only been 30 years, that is, from 1988 to the present. During these 30 years, the cultivation and development of Pu 'er coffee is almost the epitome of Chinese coffee, among which Nestle's cultivation promotion is indispensable." Li Guanting said.

Of course, Nestle is not the only foreign-funded company that has "done something" in Yunnan's coffee-producing areas. Starbucks, Maxwell and other instant coffee companies have contributed more or less to Yunnan coffee producing areas. "They send seeds to farmers, and then they come back to harvest them, not to mention whether they are good or not. If the factory doesn't harvest them, the farmers will suffer," says an industry insider.

According to the source, Nestle, Starbucks and other companies in Yunnan procurement of commercial beans has declined. Coupled with the continued decline in futures prices, it is difficult for farmers who grow commercial beans to have a "good day." Because of this, Nestle, a company that has been "cultivating" in Yunnan for many years, has been pushed to the opposite side. There is even a view that there are very good coffee varieties in Yunnan in the early years, but the arrival of Nestle makes coffee varieties with strong disease resistance and high yield widely promoted. As a result, while Yunnan coffee is moving towards industrialization, the production capacity of its fine coffee beans is almost pitiful.

There is a great deal of "conclusion" about success and failure. Of course, Nestle doesn't think so. In Nestle's view, it is precisely because Nestle has been purchasing coffee beans in Yunnan for 30 years that it has promoted and protected the local coffee planting industry, which has been highly recognized by competent departments, coffee farmers, business partners and other relevant parties. KAN OULI is "supportive" of Nestle. In his view, the relatively difficult status quo of Yunnan coffee industry is certainly not Nestle's fault. "The so-called world factory, you can see it as a factory of blood and tears, or you can see it as the only way for developing countries to rise." There are different methods and strategies at different times, and it was a win-win deal at the beginning."
