Under the guidance of the government, enterprises and farmers joined hands to break through the encirclement, striving to get rid of the situation of the origin of simple raw materials, and realized a magnificent turn from "imported goods" to "agricultural products" and then to "consumer goods".

At present, Yunnan Province has a coffee planting area of more than 1.8 million mu, with an annual output of more than 150000 tons of raw coffee beans, accounting for 98% of the country. Among them, Pu'er City has 800000 mu, ranking first in area and output in Yunnan.

Lu Han, director of Pu'er Tea and Coffee Industry Development Center, introduced.

Ted Ringer, former executive director of the American Fine Coffee Association (SCAA), analyzed that the average score was 82.64, with 15 branches above 83, which is enough to prove that the rate of quality products in China's coffee industry is rising steadily.
