The volume is expected to be close to 100000 tons. Yunnan coffee acreage and output account for more than 98% of China's coffee.

In the last production season, the purchase price of coffee beans in China continued to fall due to the impact of the international market. In November last year, international coffee companies worked in Yunnan.

The opening price of 17.9 yuan per kilogram was quoted, setting a new low in nearly five years and approaching the bottom line for coffee growers.

At present, coffee from Pu'er, Dehong, Baoshan, Lincang and Xishuangbanna, the main coffee producing areas in Yunnan, is already red, and farmers are actively preparing for harvest.

With favorable weather this year, Yunnan coffee is growing well as a whole, with high fruit hanging rate and fruitful results. But unlike the coffee harvest, the price of coffee

The persistent downturn has made the vast number of growers anxious again.

According to coffee growers in Pu'er, Yunnan's largest coffee producing area, land rent, labor and fertilizer are used to produce and process one kilogram of fresh coffee fruit.

The cost and yield of rice, such as management and protection, harvest, etc., is 14. 5% per kilogram of coffee rice. 7 yuan.

Warm up. "

Coffee planting. By the year after next year, when the price of coffee beans rises, the corresponding income can be fed back. Yunnan's coffee industry is not confident.

It's slim.

At present, Yunnan Pu'er, Baoshan and other places have also developed some enterprises with intensive processing ability, initially realizing the industry to feed agriculture.

Try our best to change the industrial pattern of pure raw material producing area. However, according to the statistics of the Yunnan Coffee Industry Association, although the area and output occupy absolutely in the country.

Yes, but the proportion of Yunnan coffee consumption in China is still very small.

Li Gongqin, secretary general of Yunnan Coffee Industry Association, said that in the 2012-2013 season, Yunnan produced about 82000 tons of coffee beans and exported coffee.

More than 50,000 tons of beans, some of which are used by Chinese local enterprises with advanced processing ability for instant powder production, and the domestic consumption of Yunnan coffee is less than 20,000 tons. And

In 2012, China's domestic coffee consumption was about 130000 tons.

"if more cafes in China start to use Yunnan coffee beans, add Yunnan coffee to the consumption list, according to the current Yunnan coffee production.

The domestic market is not satisfied. " Li Gongqin said.

If more people drink coffee, the operating cost of the coffee business will be low, and the price of each cup of coffee will naturally be much lower. " Xiong Xiangren believes that development

Local brands and drinking Yunnan coffee beans will help China's coffee industry survive the current "cold winter".
