Higher requirements for Climate and Environment small Coffee was introduced and planted in Xizang

Shama villager Zaxi Pingcuo is one of the farmers who took part in the trial of coffee, preparing the land, watering and weeding. In strict accordance with the instructions of experts, take good care of coffee seedlings. "Coffee is a crop of high economic value," he said. "it is hoped that the success of the trial will lead more and more farmers to become rich together."

"in the future, we hope that through coffee promotion and planting, we will gradually form a complete coffee industry chain and build 'Xizang Coffee' into a well-known brand." Davatunzhu is full of anticipation.

Dawaatunzhu, deputy director of the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Bureau of Chayu County, Linzhi City, said here on the 2nd that according to the planning of the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Department of the Autonomous region, 500 grams of Yunnan small-grain coffee was introduced into Shama Village, Xiachayu Town, Linzhi City. Local farmers were guided by the Autonomous Academy of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Sciences and coffee planting experts in Hainan and Yunnan provinces to try out planting, covering an area of 7 square meters. At present, the effect of trial planting is good, and the growth of coffee seedlings is gratifying.

It is understood that the quality of coffee is closely related to the environment in which it grows, while small-grain coffee has higher requirements for climate and environment. "during the trial period, in order to avoid frost in winter affecting the growth of coffee, agricultural and animal husbandry experts will take a series of measures such as covering thermal insulation film to help coffee plants survive the winter safely." Davatunzhu said

Chayu County, located in the southeast of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, is one of Xizang's important border counties, with an average elevation of 2300 meters, belonging to the subtropical humid climate zone of the Himalayas, with mild seasons, abundant precipitation, sufficient sunshine and a long frost-free period. With the unique advantages of climate and environment, the local area has become one of the first choice for Xizang coffee trial.

The reporter learned from the Department of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry of Xizang Autonomous region that Chayu County of Xizang Linzhi City is experimenting with growing coffee. At present, it has completed raising seedlings and is growing well. It is understood that this is the first time in Xizang's agricultural and animal husbandry history that coffee has been formally introduced and tested. After the trial is successful, it will be gradually popularized and planted in other suitable areas to explore the creation of a "Tibetan brand" of coffee.
