Development trend of small Coffee beans in Yunnan, China Price of Yunnan Arabica Coffee beans in 2022

After years of low prices, Yunnan coffee has ushered in new changes. Since 2021, Yunnan coffee beans have appeared in the menus of more and more new tea and coffee brands born in China, which has been driven by a new round of national tide and domestic coffee consumption crazy. more people go to Yunnan coffee producing areas to look for unique coffee flavor. The soaring consumer demand for Yunnan coffee beans has driven up the price of Yunnan coffee beans.

The spot price of Yunnan coffee beans rose by about 65% this year, and the purchase price of first-tier commercial coffee beans rose to 24 yuan to 26 yuan per kilogram in 2021, and rose to 34 yuan per kilogram just after the Spring Festival in 2022, a "Ka er Dai" mentioned in an interview with China Business News.

Yunlan Manor in Yunnan, one of the representatives of Yunnan boutique coffee, also mentioned in an interview that there were too many orders this year and there was a particularly high demand for coffee beans, but the cost of coffee beans has also doubled or tripled. Due to the high price of boutique coffee beans, as the cost increases faster, the sales price will also exceed the acceptance of the market, and the profit will become thinner. Recently, prices are still rising, and some downstream customers are also worried about price and supply problems.

As a result, the surge in coffee bean prices in Yunnan is related to the global epidemic, which has caused great delay in the supply chains of coffee producing and consuming countries, extending the average delivery time from one to two months to three to four months. While the market supply is decreasing, coffee consumption is rising rapidly, the coffee market in China is more obvious, and the demand is greater than the supply, which drives the price of coffee beans in Yunnan.

Recently, an article on the Internet mentioned that Yunnan coffee beans make "wedding clothes" for some international coffee brands, which some people in the coffee industry do not agree with. The planting level among farmers varies, and if traders need thousands of tons of coffee beans, they need to buy "hundred beans", which brings the problem of batch instability and affects the overall quality and pricing.

Although Yunnan itself has unique advantages in developing coffee industry, it also has its own limitations. The relevant talents and industrial chain are relatively backward, far away from the port, it is difficult to escape the identity of the origin of raw materials. In recent years, the state has set up coffee trading centers in Yunnan and Chongqing respectively, with the intention of affecting the price of coffee transactions, but because Yunnan producing areas do not have many advantages compared with other countries, it is difficult to have pricing power, and the effect of the trading center is mediocre.

Pu'er City, Pu'er Tea and Pu'er Coffee in Yunnan are all one of the characteristic crops in Pu'er City, and they are also one of the "50 billion industries" focused on, which bring great potential to promote rural development. During the 14th five-year Plan period, it is planned to build Pu'er into an important global producer of fine coffee and high-grade standardized commercial coffee, and the most influential coffee trading center and baking processing center in Asia is the goal and task of the development of Pu'er coffee industry.

In this regard, Ning'er County in Pu'er City is also working hard to achieve the goal. The county's total output value of coffee reached 278 million yuan in 2021 and is expected to exceed 300 million yuan in 2022, Xinhua reported on March 1. With the investment in policies, projects, capital, technology, and talents, some producing areas have introduced new Arabica varieties on the basis of the original "Katim", gradually improving the quality of local coffee and selling at a good price.

The Yunnan coffee price index closed at 27.56 yuan per kilogram on March 7, according to Coffee Finance Network.
