On the expansion of Coffee in Yunnan

Last Updated: 2026/04/28, This time in Yunnan, I heard that some coffee growers have begun to cut down coffee trees. Before 2023, I called everywhere not to expand the species blindly, but now the high price must be hyped by some people, because the taste of our Yunnan coffee is far less good than that of others, such as Ethiopian coffee, but our price is far higher than that of others. Why? We do international coffee procurement.

This time in Yunnan, I heard that some coffee growers have begun to cut down coffee trees.

Before 2023, I called everywhere not to expand the species blindly, but now the high price must be hyped by someone.

Because our Yunnan coffee tastes far less good than that of others, such as Ethiopian coffee.

But our price is much higher than that of others. Why?

Our international coffee procurement trade sets the price on the basis of taste, and it will be compared horizontally with coffee from other countries in the world.

So is it normal that Yunnan coffee, which is not very good in taste but high in price, is bought in large quantities? Why is that?

Would you buy this coffee if it was just to buy and drink?

It is gratifying that the high price of Yunnan coffee has been hyped for only one year.

If it is hyped for another two years, it will be a disaster, if it is hyped for another two years.

Private funds and state-backed funds will also increase the coffee planting area in Yunnan several times as much as it is now.

When the huge output of coffee in Yunnan came up three years later,

Even if the price returns to the normal price of the existing quality of Yunnan coffee (some farmers are already cutting down coffee trees)

And those speculators who spent three years of high-price hype money, will be willing to Yunnan coffee only return to the normal price?

No, they will join hands to drive down the price of coffee in Yunnan.

At that time, growers will have only two ways: to cut down coffee trees or sell coffee farms that invested millions of dollars at the beginning.

In the middle, the brothers of individual farmers will cut down coffee trees and grow other economic crops, because the land is essential to them and cannot be sold cheaply.

And those private enterprises and private enterprises with state background investment will sell farms cheaply.

Because they want to get back a little bit of the cost, they can sell as much as they can, and it's good to sell it for 1 million.

At that time, those speculators will buy our coffee farm in Yunnan, China at a very low price.

At that time, the price of coffee in Yunnan is not up to us Chinese (maybe it's not up to us now)

This is a terrible state.

Some private entrepreneurs told me that they would stick to it. I said that although I admire you, you are bound to fail.

Because no one can fight against the international financial giants unless our country acts.

However, the reality is that those stupid officials desperately encourage the expansion of species for the sake of their political achievements.

In 2003, just because a large international coffee company did not accept Yunnan coffee, farmers had to cut down coffee trees.

At that time, the state did not have a protection policy to protect our peasant brothers, which was heartbreaking.

And now some people have fried the price of coffee in Yunnan to an inexplicable high, but our frogs in the well are clamoring to expand the species.

Before 2023, on the blog of an official in charge of tea and coffee in Yunnan, he called on him not to blindly encourage seed expansion.

Tell him that the current high price of coffee in Yunnan is abnormal, and he deleted it the next day.

Before 2023, it was also held at a conference held by the Shanghai Municipal Government on the use of funds for Yunnan Province to grow coffee.

I also give examples to illustrate the international coffee market.

Let us not blindly follow the trend of taxpayers' money to harm our Yunnan coffee, but the result is unknown.

When the Yunnan coffee market is cultivated and there is a normal consumption, it is right to expand the variety.

It is terrible when Yunnan coffee is expanded because of its abnormally high price.

Background information:

According to the latest data from the Yunnan Provincial Department of Agriculture, in 2012, the coffee planting area of the province is about 1.34 million mu, and the output is expected to be 82000 tons. The coffee planting area and output have accounted for more than 98% of the country, making it the largest coffee planting production and export base in the country. From 390000 mu in 2008 to 1.34 million mu now, the planting area of coffee in Yunnan has tripled in 4 years, showing a momentum of rapid growth.
