There is an urgent need to "polish" the local brand consciousness of Yunnan coffee with a hundred-year history of ups and downs.

1970s

Farming system groping planting

The second phase, 1978-1988, was a period of ups and downs and exploration when most farming systems tried to plant.

Until the end of 1976, only the roadside of the Burma Road or the courtyard of the farmhouse could still see the shadow of coffee trees in Yunnan. Due to geographical reasons, the coffee saplings planted by missionaries have been sleeping quietly, waiting for someone to wake them up.

In 1988, in order to reduce the impact of coffee planting bases in South America on coffee prices, Nestle shifted its attention from Brazil, the world's largest coffee grower, to Pu 'er, the same latitude as Cuba, the home of coffee.

1980s

Foreign brands enter Yunnan

The third stage was from 1988 to 2008. After Nestle entered Pu 'er in 1988, Yunnan coffee entered a stable development stage, which lasted for 20 years.

Stimulated by multinational groups, Yunnan coffee cultivation has finally revived. Coupled with the gradual rise of China's urban middle class, coffee has become a new way of life for urban white-collar workers. More multinational groups, including Maxwell and Starbucks, have also come to Yunnan.

after 2008

Create and perfect industrial chain

The fourth stage is after 2008, from the first 30 years, relying solely on agricultural primary processing and planting exports to the stage of not only agricultural exports but also industry and brand compatibility, and constantly building and perfecting the industrial chain.

This stage is a stage full of opportunities and challenges, a stage in which coffee cultivation faces the transformation from traditional agriculture to modern agriculture, and a stage in which international trade expands and domestic potential market is tapped.

With the continuous maturity of domestic coffee market and domestic coffee industry chain, Yunnan coffee planting area and output are increasing constantly. At present, coffee planting in Yunnan Province has spread all over 35 counties and districts of 9 prefectures and cities such as Pu 'er City, Baoshan City, Dehong Prefecture, Lincang City, Wenshan Prefecture and Xishuangbanna.

By the beginning of 2016, China's coffee planting area exceeded 1.8 million mu, with a total output of 140,000 tons, accounting for 1.5% of the world's total output. Yunnan coffee planting area was 1.77 million mu, with a total output of 139,000 tons, accounting for more than 99% of the country. Yunnan local coffee enterprises, such as Hougu, Lingfeng, etc. ushered in spring.
