Yunnan Dehong small Coffee planting Base

Dehong small grain coffee is native to Africa and Ethiopia and is the main cultivated variety in the world. In 1951, coffee seed was first introduced to Dehong Luxi Cotton cropping Experimental Station for productive cultivation. The seedlings were planted in 6 mu and grew well. In 1956, the Dehong Prefecture Committee decided to vigorously develop coffee in the whole state, and held a training course on coffee planting techniques throughout the state, so that small-grain coffee was widely developed in the whole state. In 1958, Dehong Prefecture established a state coffee production base in Mangshi, carried out research on coffee planting technology and pest control technology, and conquered coffee seed selection, high-yield cultivation, pest control and other topics, so that scientific coffee planting technology has been popularized among the people of all ethnic groups. In 1960, the planting area of coffee in the state has reached 15000 mu, with an output of more than 40 tons. Dehong small grains of coffee are processed into coffee powder in Shanghai, packed in tin cans and exported to London. At the International Exposition in 1963, Dehong small Grain Coffee was rated as a high-quality product with rich aroma, slightly sour and delicious, and gained a reputation comparable to that of Lanshan Coffee.

In 1966, the output of coffee beans in the whole state reached more than 100 tons. due to the decline in international market prices, the market was not smooth, coupled with the reasons of the "Cultural Revolution", scientific research and production were seriously frustrated, and Dehong small-grain coffee production entered a low ebb. Most of the land where coffee was originally grown has been deserted.
