Fengqing County Plants 3,801 Acres of Coffee in 2024

Fengqing County in Yunnan isn’t waiting to become a coffee player—it’s planting fast. With a government target of 5,000 acres this year, local teams have already moved 1.75 million coffee seedlings, prepped 7,465 acres, and put 3,801 acres in the ground. That’s 76% of the goal, led by the heat-suited townships of Yingpan, Luodang, and Xinhua. Here’s how the county turned ambition into planted rows.

In short: Fengqing County has planted 3,801 acres of coffee so far in 2024, surpassing initial groundwork with 7,465 acres of holes dug and 1.75 million seedlings distributed—76% of its 5,000-acre target.

Why Fengqing County Chose These Townships

The county government didn’t pick planting zones at random. After the city’s coffee production push meeting, leaders surveyed and zeroed in on three heat-resource-rich townships: Yingpan, Luodang, and Xinhua. Of the 5,000 planned acres, 4,000 were allocated to Yingpan’s Santai area—the priority zone—and 1,000 to Luodang and Xinhua combined. These areas offer the warm, stable conditions coffee needs to thrive.

How the Planting Push Unfolded

Action started in February. Township teams and the county agriculture bureau dispatched staff to villages and households for direct outreach. They didn’t just talk—they trained farmers on every technical step, from land prep to transplanting. The result? 7,465 acres had holes dug (2,465 acres over plan) and 1.75 million coffee seedlings were supplied, along with 1,700 tons of agricultural inputs. By now, 3,801 acres are fully transplanted, with Yingpan alone completing 3,015 acres. The county’s coffee rollout is moving steadily.

What This Means for Yunnan’s Coffee Map

Fengqing’s push adds another active coffee-growing pocket to Yunnan’s southwest belt, which already includes major regions like Baoshan, Dehong, Pu’er, and Lincang. While not yet a household name, Fengqing’s focus on heat-suited areas and structured planning puts it in line with Yunnan’s broader coffee strategy. The region’s elevation, slopes, and climate align with the “golden coffee belt” (latitudes 25°N–25°S, 16–21°C ideal temps), offering potential for high-quality beans in the long run.
