Jietao Coffee

Last updated 2026-11-13 — Jietao Village is a Dai ethnic minority natural village in Fengping Town, Dehong Prefecture, Yunnan Province. The main source of income for the villagers comes from planting various crops. For a long time, the villagers have been striving to find a way to fully utilize 850 acres of dry farmland to increase their income and achieve prosperity. It wasn't until the year 2000 when coffee cultivation was developed that, among the 60 Dai households in the village, 55 became coffee growers, and the Jietao Coffee Demonstration Base was established. Currently, the total coffee planting area in Jietao Village exceeds 300 acres, with nearly 200 acres in production. Through technical cooperation with companies, the base has achieved a yield of 1,000 to 1,500 kilograms per acre since the coffee came into production, with an output value of 1,950 yuan per acre. The total output value has surpassed 300,000 yuan for three consecutive years. In 2006 alone, the village earned over 350,000 yuan from coffee, with a per capita income of more than 3,800 yuan—an increase of over 40% compared to the pre-coffee planting period.
