The best gold zone for growing coffee in China Pu'er City, Yunnan Province

Forge the Simao coffee brand

"the excellent quality of Simao coffee depends not only on its unique geography and special climate, but also on variety, cultivation, harvest, processing, production, and so on. Therefore, Pu'er City focuses on the selection of varieties and technical training in coffee cultivation." Liu Biao said.

Since the development of coffee industrialization in Pu'er City began in 1988, the place name of Simao City has been used since coffee was planted on a large scale, and the name used in Yunnan local standard "Simao small Grain Coffee Comprehensive Standard" is still "Simao". Therefore, Pu'er coffee still uses the name of "Simao small grain coffee (Simao Coffee for short)". Over the years, the municipal party committee and municipal government have taken the development of coffee as a backbone industry to adjust the industrial structure and increase farmers' income, adopted the agricultural industrialization management model of company + base + farmers, and concluded a long-term purchase and sales contract with Nestle Coffee Company. Focusing on "grasping standards, quality, brands and markets", the "opinions on speeding up the Development of Coffee Industry" were issued, and the construction of biodiversity ecological coffee garden was carried out. In addition, 10,000 copies of "cultivation rules for High yield and High quality of Simao small Coffee species" and "Analysis and Countermeasures of Coffee Cold injury in Simao area of Yunnan Province" were compiled for farmers to use, and took the lead in setting up a coffee industry federation in the country. the production technical standards such as varieties, seedlings and cultivation of small seed coffee have been standardized to be in line with international standards. In June 2007, the country's first agricultural standardization demonstration zone, "small seed Coffee Simao Standardization demonstration Zone", passed the acceptance inspection to grow coffee in the golden zone.

"Pu'er City is located near the Tropic of Cancer. Due to its unique geographical and climatic conditions, Pu'er is a golden area for growing Arabica coffee. The coffee produced is of good quality and is deeply loved by foreign consumers." Liu Biao, president of Pu'er Coffee Association, said.

The best growing environment for coffee is low latitude, high altitude, sufficient rainfall and suitable sunshine. Between 25 degrees north and south latitudes, the temperature is between 15 mi 25 °C and the climate is warm. The annual rainfall must reach 1500 Mel 2000 mm, with an altitude of 500 Mel 2000 m. At the same time, there must be suitable light and heat conditions for coffee growth and fruiting. Therefore, as far as the world is concerned, there are not many countries that can grow coffee, especially those suitable for growing high-quality coffee. Pu'er City is located between 22 degrees 02 to 24 degrees 50 minutes north latitude and 99 degrees 09 minutes to 102 degrees 19 minutes east longitude. It passes through the Tropic of Cancer and is in the same latitude with the world-famous coffee growing areas such as Jamaica, Colombia and other countries. And across the subtropics and tropics, for the south subtropical humid monsoon climate, mild climate, is the best climate for the growth of coffee trees; elevation between 317Murray 3370 meters, mainly mountains, slopes, mostly river valleys and barren mountains, suitable for the growth of coffee evergreen trees; soil is lateritic red soil, loose and fertile texture, good drainage, sufficient moisture; annual rainfall 1100afe 2780mm, warm and humid all the year round, abundant rainfall The average annual temperature is 15 ℃-20.3 ℃, and the annual frost-free period is more than 315 days. The seasonal difference is small, the temperature difference between day and night is large, the daily temperature difference is large, and the sunshine is sufficient. In addition to having the conditions for coffee cultivation, Pu'er 's natural conditions are the most suitable for coffee cultivation all over the world. Therefore, Pu'er 's unique geographical environment and special climatic conditions determine the excellent quality of Simao coffee, and it is one of the best areas for growing coffee varieties-Arabica, which is called "paradise" by coffee experts.
