Last Updated: 2024/11/10, Yunnan can be said to be the only province that still grows Arabica on a large scale, mainly in Dehong Lincang, Baoshan, western Yunnan and Pu'er Banna in southern Yunnan. Robusta was the main coffee introduced by missionaries in the 19th century, and then it was no longer planted on a large scale. In the 1950s, experts assisted by the Soviet Union put two mainstream Arabica varieties in the world: typica and Bo.

Yunnan can be said to be the only province still growing Arabica on a large scale, mainly in Dehong Lincang, Baoshan, western Yunnan and Pu'er Banna in southern Yunnan. Robusta was the main coffee introduced by missionaries in the 19th century, and then it was no longer planted on a large scale. Experts assisted by the Soviet Union brought two mainstream Arabica varieties, typica and Bourbon bourbon, to Baoshan, Yunnan, for cultivation and promotion, which were well received. Later, due to the special period, scientific research and cultivation tended to stagnate. After the reform and opening up, thanks to the efforts of local agricultural experts, the iron pickup varieties cultivated by Baoshan state-run Lujiang Farm and Xincheng Youth Farm also won the first place in the international coffee competition. However, the Chinese people's understanding of coffee, so that we do not increase too much interest in growing. Since the early 1990s, in order to improve the enthusiasm of farmers, Baoshan Rezuo has introduced a Katim variety bred by the Portuguese Coffee Rust Research Center with Timor (medium grain, Tim) and Caturra (small grain, Kaddura), and has been popularized and planted with numerous titles. This variety has solved many factors such as disease and insect disasters and drought resistance, and the important thing is that the yield per mu has nearly doubled. Although it has increased the enthusiasm of farmers to grow coffee, it has also become the reason for the low quality of Yunnan coffee from now on. At the same time, Nestl é and Maxwell entered China and began to promote coffee varieties suitable for instant coffee in Pu'er and other places: S288, natural hybrid of large seed and small seed and S26 of kent hybrid of Arabica Kent in India, which had first-class rust resistance, but the planting difficulty and adaptability were low, and the cultivation was basically stopped at the beginning of the 20th century.

Speaking of which, I think there should be some judgment on the varieties of coffee in Yunnan. What about the excellent iron pickup and bourbon before? In the new promotion and planting, there are still many hills left to continue to grow old varieties of coffee, but, generally speaking, backward places do not have the protection of origin and a single species, a mountain, 10 families, all kinds of people, a gust of wind blowing, pollen flying everywhere. He he. Because of the problem of variety, Yunnan coffee really lost at the starting line.
