Villager Peng Ankui began to grow coffee sporadically in 1990, and the purchase price of coffee beans soared to 40 yuan per kilogram in 2009. Peng Ankui, who became rich by coffee, rented 20 mu of land from others, plus his own land, and planted 36 mu of coffee. His plan is that coffee can earn more than 100,000 yuan a year, and after deducting living expenses, it can accumulate 50,000 to 60,000 yuan a year, and three years later, it will be able to build a new house for small families who have just separated and set up their own homes.

How many years did you do? Peng Ankui, who dreams of building a house, "soaks in the coffee field every day", pruning, fertilizing and weeding, busy, looking forward to? Coffee trees quickly grow up and hang fruit, bringing benefits to themselves. Three years later, in 2012, Peng Ankui planted 36 mu of coffee, but encountered a new round of low prices, the result is far from his original dream.

Peng Ankui collected 6 tons of coffee beans in 2017, selling 11 yuan per kilogram, earning only more than 60,000 yuan. This year, his coffee production has been reduced due to cyclical factors, harvesting only about 2 tons, with a maximum income of 20,000 yuan. After deducting the cost of planting and maintenance, there is almost no profit, which makes Peng Ankui very disappointed. "even the working hours are not enough!"

Peng Ankui also wanted to cut down coffee trees and grow vegetables and fruits to tide over the difficulties, but recalling the difficulty of coffee cultivation and management, the income of farmers around who cut down coffee trees to grow vegetables and fruits may not be much higher. Peng Ankui has been slow to do it. Fortunately, my wife has been opening a shop to sell breakfast, coupled with the fact that she can do odd jobs around, the couple's income is basically able to make ends meet. Peng Ankui's biggest hope now is a recovery in the coffee market and a rebound in prices, relying on coffee earnings to pay off the debts owed by the construction of houses.
