Yunnan builds first national key laboratory for coffee testing

According to the Pu 'er Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, a few days ago, China's first national key coffee testing laboratory (Pu' er) officially started construction in Pu 'er City, which will fill the gap in China's coffee product professional laboratory and provide strong technical support for the foreign trade of coffee products.

Pu 'er has become the main coffee producing area and coffee trade distribution center with the largest planting area, the highest output and the best quality in China. In 2015, the city's coffee planting area was 757,000 mu, with 402,300 mu put into production, 39,900 tons of output, a total output value of 1.2 billion yuan, exports of 28,200 tons and foreign exchange earning of 69 million US dollars.

With the development of Pu 'er coffee industry, there is no scientific, standardized and well-equipped key laboratory for coffee testing, which seriously restricts the development of Pu' er coffee industry and the foreign trade of coffee products in our province, especially Pu 'er coffee industry. It is urgent to build a key laboratory for coffee testing in Pu 'er. As early as 2012, Pu 'er City Government allocated 10 million yuan of special laboratory construction fund under financial constraints, and specially set up a leading group for preparatory work. Through more than five years of active efforts and a lot of work, AQSIQ officially approved the construction of National Key Coffee Testing Laboratory in Pu' er in August 2015.

After the completion of the National Key Laboratory for Coffee Testing (Pu 'er), it will build a multifunctional service platform for inspection and quarantine, arbitration, scientific research, personnel training and foreign technical exchange of Pu' er coffee industry, which will effectively promote the development of Pu 'er coffee industry and even the whole province.
