Former President of Colombia suggests Lincang Coffee to take the road of "fine coffee"

Colombia is an important coffee producer in the world, and Colombian coffee is almost synonymous with "boutique coffee" in the world. In 2013, Colombia's coffee production exceeded 654000 tons, a sharp increase of 41% over 2012. Colombia's coffee production has now surpassed Indonesia and returned to the third place in the world, second only to Brazil and Vietnam.

Andries Pastrana, who has been deeply studying the development of coffee and coffee industry, is very interested in the development of Lincang coffee industry. after understanding the basic situation of Lincang coffee industry, he suggests that Lincang coffee take the road of "boutique coffee".

Lincang belongs to subtropical monsoon climate, with a wide hot area, long frost-free period, abundant rainfall, large temperature difference between day and night, and acidic soil, so it is one of the most suitable areas for coffee production in China. According to the establishment of coffee product quality traceability system, ecological, manorized and socialized coffee industry in Lincang, Lincang has planted 36900 hectares of coffee with an annual output of 6500 tons. Coffee has become one of the emerging industries and plateau characteristic industries in Lincang. At present, the whole city is making great efforts to build Lincang into an important coffee production base in the country. Lingfeng Coffee Company has grown into the largest coffee enterprise in China after several years of efforts.

According to Yang Zhiqi, chairman of Lingfeng Coffee Company, in 2013, the Lincang Municipal CPC Committee and the government organized local coffee participants to visit Colombia. During the inspection, Lincang has signed a "Framework Agreement on Exchange and Cooperation in the Development of Coffee Industry" with the main Colombian coffee producing region, Quintio Province, and the two sides have conducted extensive cooperation on how to develop boutique coffee. Lingfeng Coffee Company also imports boutique coffee production equipment from Colombia to learn Colombian boutique coffee production technology.

As for the suggestion of the former president of Colombia, Yang Zhiqi, chairman of Lingfeng Coffee Company, believes that the development of Lincang coffee industry starts relatively late and its popularity is relatively low, but the development of the industry is later, and it also has its advantages: it can learn from the successful experience of others and do a good job in the coffee industry in a more standardized manner. Lingfeng Coffee will unswervingly take the road of fine coffee!
