Yunnan coffee set up its own door to get rid of Nestle and other constraints to seize the pricing power.
From 390000 mu five years ago to 1.3 million mu in 2012, the rapidly expanding Yunnan coffee industry suffered a cold spell in the market last year. First, at the beginning of last year, the international giant Nestl é announced that it would stop its acquisition and triggered a "unsalable storm" that triggered a panic sell-off among Cannons. At the end of last year, the purchase price of coffee beans fell to a five-year low, approaching the planting cost line. Yangcheng Evening News reporter in Yunnan over the past few days found that under many challenges, Yunnan coffee is brewing a counterattack storm.
The purchase price falls close to the cost line and farmers wait and see.
At present, Yunnan Province, where raw bean cultivation accounts for more than 98% of the domestic industry, is ushering in the coffee harvest season. But the farmers are not happy at all.
The head of the Dalinwo Coffee Cooperative in Pu'er City told Yangcheng Evening News that the agency currently has a planting area of nearly 500 mu, and the main buyers of the products, Nestl é and Starbucks, are offering low prices, and Ka Nong is still waiting and seeing. At present, the prices of pesticides and chemical fertilizers continue to rise, and the cost of planting is already close to 16 yuan / kg. If prices continue to fall, farmers may choose another way out. In Ximeng County, Pu'er City, a village cadre told reporters that due to the rising coffee market in recent years, nearly 200 mu of fields in the village were converted into coffee five years ago. Last year was the second year that coffee trees began to bear fruit, and the enthusiasm of farmers was discouraged.
Hu Lu, deputy secretary-general of the Yunnan Coffee Industry Association, said that the current planting cost of leased land is about 15-16 yuan / kg, and if it falls below this price, it will deal a serious blow to the Yunnan coffee industry.
Yunnan coffee wants to counterattack and compete for pricing power
The reporter found that the current Nestle pricing is based on the latest New York coffee futures prices, and reduced by a few cents, scattered farmers do not have the right to speak.
"the price is similar to that of the New York Coffee Exchange, which is only the price of ordinary coffee beans, which is very unfair to us." Peng Yuanguo, vice mayor of Pu'er City, said in an exclusive interview with Yangcheng Evening News a few days ago that Pu'er City is currently committed to building local coffee brands and plans to support a number of large enterprises with pricing power to form a whole industry chain. It also plans to formulate industrial technical regulations and standards, apply for the protection of origin, and strive to regain the international pricing power.
Hougu Coffee, the largest local coffee company, was once Nestl é's largest supplier of raw materials in China. In recent years, it has begun to set up its own door, taking the road of deep processing and industrial chain to build its own brand. Xiong Xiangjin, chairman of the board, said that if the purchase price of international buyers falls below the cost price, it will start the purchase and storage of protective prices to help farmers tide over the difficulties.
The coffee giant changed its strategy and responded.
In the face of the challenges of local partners, some "foreign teachers" have begun to change the original simple procurement strategy and strengthen cooperation with local enterprises. Starbucks told reporters that three years ago, the company introduced four new coffee varieties for adaptability test, and after the five-year trial period expires, it will plant these four coffee varieties on a large scale, when its first coffee planting base in the world will be located in Yunnan. Its first Asian coffee grower support center in Pu'er has been put into operation recently.
In fact, Starbucks is already changing its strategy in the face of the rise of local enterprises in Yunnan. Its joint venture with Aiyi Group, the largest local coffee company in Pu'er, was officially put into operation in December last year. The joint venture's coffee processing plant has an annual capacity of 20,000 tons of raw beans.
