Coffee beans in Yunnan end of picking months-Kenya Coffee picking season

Hu Lu, vice president of the provincial coffee industry association, said that although the output of this harvest season was lower than expected and the market was relatively depressed, the prospect of Yunnan coffee was still promising. "judging from the current public information, both Pu'er and Lincang plan to stabilize the coffee planting area at about 1 million mu. According to this calculation, the province's coffee planting area will reach 2.8 million mu by 2020, and the province's coffee will enter a high-yield period. coffee output is expected to reach 18-200000 tons at that time, when Yunnan's important position in the main coffee producing areas in the world will be further enhanced." The reporter learned from the Yunnan Coffee Industry Association that the province's coffee harvest season from 2015 to 2016 is over. Preliminary statistics show that the province's coffee production reached 139000 tons, an increase of 21000 tons over the 2014-2015 harvest season of 118000 tons.

The history of coffee cultivation in Yunnan can be traced back to 1892. A French missionary brought coffee to Yunnan from abroad and successfully planted it in a valley in Binchuan County, Yunnan Province. The coffee plants of this batch of coffee seeds are still blooming and bearing fruit in Binchuan County.

Yunnan coffee was planted on a large scale in the mid-1950s, with a planting scale of 4000 hectares at one time. By the end of 1997, the planting area of coffee in the province had reached 7800 hectares. At present, the planting area of the whole province accounts for 70% of the national area, and the output accounts for 83% of the whole country. Yunnan coffee has established the dominant position in China in terms of planting area and coffee bean production.

"although the output of 139000 tons has increased compared with the previous picking season, it has still shrunk by about 20, 000 tons than expected due to the disaster of low temperature and cold wave, low market prices and other factors." Li Gongqin, secretary general of the provincial coffee industry association, said that at the beginning of this year, precipitation and cooling weather occurred on a large scale in the province. Although the early warning was timely, it still brought great losses to the coffee, tea and other industries. As far as coffee industry is concerned, Pu'er, Lincang and Wenshan are seriously affected, while Dehong and Baoshan are relatively good.
