Kunming is more suitable for Yunnan Coffee spot Trading Center.

Consensus: a coffee spot trading center must be built.

Coffee cultivation in Yunnan Province has covered Pu'er, Lincang, Baoshan, Dehong, Xishuangbanna, Honghe and other cities. Up to now, the planting area has exceeded 1.5 million mu, and is still expanding. The planting area and output account for more than 98% of the country's total coffee area and output, and it is the largest coffee planting and export base in the country.

In spite of this, the development problems faced by Yunnan coffee industry are also quite obvious.

For a long time, more than 90% of the coffee in Yunnan has been exported to Europe, North America and other countries as raw materials, and the degree of dependence on the international market is too high. Under the influence of the international market, there are often ups and downs, and it is difficult to buy and sell alternately, and the coffee industry cannot develop steadily. Since the outbreak of the global financial crisis in 2008, the consumption of traditional coffee consumption areas such as North America and Europe has been weak, and coffee prices have fluctuated greatly in the international market.

Statistics show that from 2011 to 2013, the average price of coffee in Yunnan dropped from 33.82 yuan per kilogram to 17.3 yuan, a drop of nearly 50%. The price of coffee is too low, the income of farmers can not be guaranteed, the enthusiasm of farmers to grow coffee has been seriously dampened, and the scale and achievements of Yunnan coffee industry have suffered a major blow.

"the establishment of Yunnan Coffee Trading Center can stabilize the fluctuation of the coffee market, enhance the ability to resist risks, grasp the pricing power of Yunnan coffee, ensure that coffee enterprises and farmers receive reasonable and stable income, and promote the stable development of Yunnan coffee industry." This is not only the expectation of the association for the future development of Yunnan coffee industry, but also the common aspiration of the broad masses of participants in Yunnan coffee industry.

Differences: built in Kunming? Or Pu'er?

Generally speaking, the development of coffee industry in Yunnan started relatively late, compared with other countries, it is still in the initial stage of development. Over the years, the development of Yunnan coffee industry is lack of standardization and guidance, and has always been lack of discourse and pricing power. In order to better promote the development of Yunnan coffee industry, in the past two years, Yunnan coffee industry participants have made active efforts to promote the construction of Yunnan coffee spot trading center.

In 2013, Yunnan coffee suffered from drought in the early stage and frost disaster in the later stage, causing huge losses. Learn from the bitter experience, coffee industry participants actively take action, while actively studying the Yunnan coffee collection and storage mechanism, while actively promoting the construction of Yunnan coffee spot trading center. The development of coffee industry in Yunnan has attracted everyone's attention and attention.

In 2014, the construction of Yunnan coffee spot trading center with collection and storage function has received widespread attention inside and outside the industry, and the active construction of Yunnan coffee spot trading center has become the consensus of Yunnan coffee industry participants. For a time, departments, institutions, enterprises and individuals have expressed their willingness to take the lead or participate in the construction of Yunnan Coffee spot Exchange Center.

On the afternoon of July 9, a flower company and Pu'er City Investment Company set up the project team of "Yunnan Coffee Trading Center" in Pu'er City. On the 12th, more than 20 coffee enterprises set up a preparatory committee for Yunnan Coffee spot Trading Center in Kunming. "everyone wants to be listed and has a high degree of enthusiasm for the development of the industry, which is a good thing." Xiong Xiangjin, president of the Yunnan Coffee Association, said, "but there is only one provincial trading center, and the location needs to be carefully considered."

Provincial coffee spot trading centers need to be approved by the provincial government, and according to Xiong Xiangjin, the results will be announced within this year at the latest.

Yesterday afternoon, Yunnan Coffee Industry Association and Yunnan Fine Coffee Society held a joint meeting to analyze the current situation of Yunnan coffee industry and plan the future of Yunnan coffee industry. And reached a broad consensus on the construction of Yunnan coffee spot trading center: "Yunnan coffee spot trading center should be built in Kunming, coffee industry should be in accordance with the market law." It is up to coffee companies and participants in the coffee industry to control their destiny. "

Pu 'er Tea? Kunming? In addition, it does not rule out that other major coffee producing areas are also fighting for it.
