Coffee signed price protection contract

"even if the price is reduced, I still planted more than 20 mu last year." The sister of Li Xiaozhi, a farmer in Baoshan, said she would compare the prices of coffee ingredients through the Internet.

Why can the coffee price of Pu'er reach 17 yuan / kg, and even Lujiangba coffee in Baoshan City can reach more than 16 yuan / kg, while the best quality coffee in Kongguang Village, Mangkuan Township, Longyang District, Baoshan City, is only sold at 12 yuan / kg?

The reporter found that even if they are all Arabica coffee in Yunnan, there is still a big gap in the price of Arabica coffee in different regions, with unified organizations and individual investors fighting alone.

In addition, from the perspective of market feedback, at the beginning of March, the average price of Arabica coffee from Brazil and Colombia in China was 30 yuan-33 yuan / kg and 35 yuan-38 yuan / kg. Even Vietnam's Robusta coffee can reach 17 yuan / kg, but Yunnan Arabica coffee can only sell for 16 yuan 17 yuan / kg.

In this regard, some experts analyzed that, first of all, due to the lack of technology of coffee farmers, Yunnan coffee has lost its competitiveness with Brazilian and Colombian coffee in appearance. "if they have professional governments or institutions to guide them to grade coffee and pick out high-quality coffee, then it can change a feeling of confusion in the quality of Yunnan coffee in international stores."

At the same time, we can learn from some mature practices, establish strong production institutions and sign protection contracts with farmers, give farmers a minimum protective price (subsidy price) when the international market is low, and mediate high prices when the market is high. It is reported that Nestl é has implemented this measure in some areas of Pu'er, which is also a factor in the relatively stable price of Pu'er coffee.
