It will promote a positive dialogue between Yunnan coffee industry and world-class scholars and enterprises." Said Nelig, president of the World Coffee Science and Information Association.

Chen Zhenjia, secretary-general of the local organizing committee of the 26th World Coffee Science Congress, said that at present, the organizing committee has set up an organizing committee composed of six universities, more than 10 national and provincial research institutes, and more than 10 coffee industry associations, and has sent more than 10,000 invitations to scientists and entrepreneurs from more than 80 countries around the world. In addition to the main venue in Kunming, a branch venue will be set up in Mangshi, Dehong Prefecture, Yunnan Province. during the meeting, world and domestic coffee brands will be displayed in the mode of exhibition.
