It is understood that the hot area of coffee that can be grown in Yunnan is about 5 million mu. Looking back in 2008, Yunnan's coffee planting area was 350000 mu, with an output of 28000 tons, a five-fold increase in just eight years. As China's largest coffee export base, coffee export earned foreign exchange second only to vegetables and tobacco, ranking third. With the rapid development of Yunnan coffee, it has become synonymous with Chinese coffee.

Nearly 60% of Yunnan's coffee output comes from Pu'er. By the end of 2015, Pu'er 's coffee planting area has reached 755700 mu, with an output of 57900 tons, and coffee has been exported to more than 30 countries and regions, including America, Europe and Asia.

Baoshan, as the earliest area of coffee industrialization in Yunnan Province, had grown to 187700 mu by the end of 2015, with an output of 28000 tons.

Domestic consumer groups have a growing demand for coffee. In recent years, major world coffee giants have seized the Chinese market. Domestic coffee companies have also begun to build local coffee brands and carry out deep processing. Produce instant powder, coffee beverages, freshly ground coffee and other coffee products. Domestic coffee is far from enough for the domestic market with huge consumption space in the future. China still needs to import a large amount of coffee. Coffee import increased from 13900 tons in 1998 to 59200 tons in 2015, with an average annual growth rate of about 13.7 percent. Coffee imports mainly come from Vietnam, Indonesia, the United States, Brazil, Malaysia and Colombia.

Market demand has played a good role in promoting the development of the domestic coffee industry. Yunnan, as a major coffee province in China, makes full use of its location and resource advantages to continuously strengthen the international trade of coffee. In 2015, the first "Yunnan New Europe" international freight railway line was opened, followed by the "Chongqing New Europe" post-valley coffee international special train to strengthen the international trade of Yunnan coffee.
