Coffee has become one of the fastest growing products in China.

Many foreigners are often surprised by the Chinese people's attention to diet and the time and energy they spend on buying or cooking. In fact, the consumption and pattern of meals in China also marks the current economic development, and even the investment opportunities in the future.

One of the most interesting developments in China's eating habits is the substantial increase in coffee sales in recent years. This is partly due to the presence and promotion of overseas coffee chains such as Starbucks in the United States. Many Chinese who drink tea traditionally have been quickly poisoned by coffee. Coffee currently ranks alongside gold, aluminum, diesel, gasoline, nuclear power, nickel, hydropower and natural gas as the fastest growing commodity in consumption and usage in China. Coffee is the only food in this "super-growth" category. Chinese tastes are revolutionizing, which undoubtedly has a lot to do with the increase in disposable income, and this taste innovation may also turn coffee into the world's "new gold".

In addition to coffee, beef is also a commodity with strong demand growth in China. Beef, along with silver, crude oil, palladium, coal, lead and cotton, is the second highest commodity group in terms of usage and usage. The popularity and demand for beef and coffee seems to indicate that the Chinese diet, for better or worse, is becoming more and more westernized. While beef and coffee sales are growing rapidly, the growth rate of consumption of soybeans and corn has declined.

Sugar and poultry, on the other hand, showed the largest decline in usage and growth. Perhaps as China falls in love with the new taste of coffee, the traditional (especially sweet) soymilk is gradually falling out of favor. This is ironic because soy milk is becoming more and more popular in the West, and it has been used by many people as a substitute for dairy products over the past decade, providing an option for those who are increasingly sensitive to milk. It seems that East and West are exchanging and mastering each other's eating habits. Globalization is creating some interesting eating habits updates and revolutions.
