Zhenkang Coffee:

The coffee industry in Junsai Ethnic Township is gaining strong momentum, becoming one of the area’s key economic pillars. Situated in Zhenkang County, the township has been cultivating coffee since 2006, spanning a history of 16 years. Villagers like Xu Laoling have been growing coffee since 2012 and now own over 40 mu (approximately 6.6 acres) of coffee plantations. Last year, she harvested over 20 tons of fresh coffee cherries, generating an income of more than 90,000 RMB, becoming the main source of income for her family. Xu Laoling happily noted that coffee cultivation is not only profitable but also relatively easy to manage.

To ensure stable sales channels for growers, Junsai Ethnic Township has established a cooperative mechanism with Qiyun Coffee Co., Ltd., Zhenkang County. They operate on a “company + farmers + village collective” model, market-oriented, with guaranteed prices and cash purchases directly at the farm gate, allowing villagers to share in the benefits of industry development. With coffee prices rising year by year, more and more farmers are getting involved in coffee cultivation, showing high confidence in the coffee industry’s future.

Junsai Ethnic Township is not only the region’s first to scale up and socialize the cultivation of specialty coffee but also one of the most promising areas for high-quality coffee cultivation. In recent years, leveraging geographical advantages, the township has focused on developing the coffee industry, revitalizing traditional industries with new vitality, and promoting the growth of collective economic incomes at the village level.
