The Brief
China News Service reported via Kunming Customs that Yunnan ranked first in the nation for exports of coffee and related products during the first 9 months of 2026. Goods from the province reached 42 countries and regions, including Vietnam, Malaysia, and Germany.
Local enterprises in Yunnan have progressively expanded research and technological innovation in intensive processing. This shift has altered product structures away from delivering single raw materials toward high-value, diversified goods, continually lifting the share of deeply processed Yunnan coffee.
In Dehong, Hougu Holdings Yunnan Co., Ltd. prepared instant coffee powder destined for Singapore using roasting, extraction, and drying equipment. A sales department representative noted that instant and freeze-dried cold-brew products provide convenient brewing while preserving Yunnan coffee flavors and serving diverse consumer demands.
Why it matters
Mangshi Customs introduced an efficient clearance mode combining territorial inspection, direct transit to ports, and rapid verification. This mechanism cut transit steps and shortened transportation intervals from production workshops to overseas clients for Dehong coffee shipments.
China context
Yunnan shares the global coffee-growing golden belt alongside Colombia and Ethiopia, serving as the core primary coffee production region in China. Cultivation areas across the province encompass Baoshan, Pu'er, Dehong, Lincang, Xishuangbanna, and Nujiang.
