Coffee Plantation in Taiwan Coffee Plantation in Taiwan

In 2006, thousands of coffee trees shipped from Taiwan officially settled on a hillside in the town of Gaoyao Xiaoxiang. "our boss is from Taiwan, and he and his family are very fond of growing coffee trees. when he came to Zhaoqing to develop the electronics industry, he specially brought high-quality Arabica coffee trees from Taiwan and planted them on the hot land of Zhaoqing." Speaking of the original intention of planting coffee trees, Zhang Huijun, head of RuiWorld Coffee Farm, told reporters that in addition to satisfying that "coffee complex", they also hope to grow some different crops on the land of Zhaoqing. "Coffee trees are planted in many places in Taiwan, but this is the first time this crop has been planted in Zhaoqing. We just want to give it a try, hoping that high-quality coffee can also take root and sprout in Zhaoqing and make a cup of the most authentic local coffee."

However, due to different climate, soil and other conditions, the growth of coffee in Zhaoqing encountered many problems. Mr. Lin, the manager of the coffee farm, told reporters that the coffee tree is not resistant to strong light and needs proper shade. If the light is too strong, it will inhibit its growth. "unlike the environment in which coffee trees are planted in Taiwan, this is an all-sunshine environment, where strong light may make coffee flowers free of powder and produce empty beans. Moreover, frost damage is easy to occur here in winter, which is very disadvantageous to the growth of coffee trees."

In order to improve the planting environment, the coffee farm has adopted the method of artificial intervention to make up for the deficiency of the natural environment. According to reports, the manor can get half-day protection by planting shade trees and changing the light conditions; in addition, in order to deal with the possible frost damage in winter, the whole coffee garden has laid sprinkler facilities to reduce the impact of frost damage.
