The first Asian Coffee Annual meeting was held in Mangshi, Yunnan.

China Economic News reporter Liu Ying reported that the first Asian Coffee Annual meeting was held in Mangshi, Yunnan Province on November 18-19, and Mangshi became the permanent venue of the Asian Coffee Annual meeting.

This is the first time that the World Conference on Coffee Science has been held in an Asian country. More than 400 experts and scholars from nearly 60 countries and regions and Chinese coffee producers, entrepreneurs, scientific and technological workers and government officials from some coffee producing areas attended the annual meeting to discuss the problems in coffee production, consumption and industrial development.

At present, Yunnan has a coffee planting area of 1.83 million mu and an output of 132000 tons. Although the planting area and output account for more than 95% of the country's total, it accounts for only 1.5% of the global total. The unique geography and climate of Yunnan has created the top quality coffee beans, and the instability of product quality caused by harvesting and processing is so prominent that many coffee enterprises are difficult to produce the same quality coffee beans for two years in a row. Yunnan coffee enterprises are scattered and brand cultivation is weak, so Yunnan coffee has almost no say in the global coffee market. The holding of the first Asian Coffee Annual meeting enabled participants to further explore the possibility of deepening cooperation. The coffee output of the countries around Yunnan accounts for about 20% to 30% of the world's coffee production, China's coffee consumption is growing at an annual rate of 20%, and a complete coffee industry chain has been initially formed, all of which bring hope for the take-off of China's coffee industry.
