This article focuses on the growth trend of China's coffee exports and the upgrading of production technology. Combined with global market opportunities, it explains how STU Supply Chain provides professional solutions for coffee exports to help enterprises expand into international markets.
1. China's Coffee Exports: Expanding Scale, Dual Upgrading of Markets and Product Categories
In recent years, China's coffee exports have shown a significant growth trend. The export scale has continued to expand, and both market coverage and product categories have achieved dual breakthroughs, making China an important participant in the global coffee trade.
1.1 Export Scale and Contribution of Major Producing Areas: Yunnan as the Core Driver
As China's main coffee-producing area, Yunnan contributes the vast majority of the country's coffee exports. Its export data directly reflects the strong momentum of China's coffee exports. According to the latest statistics, the export value of Yunnan's coffee and its products has exceeded 770 million yuan in the first eight months of this year, ranking first in China. Alone, the export value of coffee supervised by Tengchong Customs reached 30.944 million yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 38.5%. The products are sold to 34 countries and regions including the Netherlands, Germany, and Vietnam, covering key markets in Europe and Southeast Asia.
1.2 Market Expansion and Product Category Transformation: From "Raw Materials" to "High-Value-Added Products"
China's coffee export markets have expanded from mainly covering Europe and the United States to more regions such as emerging European countries and Africa, continuously expanding the market map. At the same time, export categories have also transformed from traditional raw coffee beans to high-value-added products. The sales of processed products such as cold-brewed coffee, freeze-dried coffee, and drip coffee have increased significantly. Taking a Yunnan coffee enterprise as an example, its overseas sales have increased by 37% compared with previous years, and its overseas sales volume has reached 17.56 million yuan this year, which confirms the competitiveness of high-value-added products in the international market.
2. Upgrading of Coffee Production Technology: Driven by Both Quality Control and Equipment Optimization
With the growth of export demand, the level of China's coffee production technology has been continuously improved. Through strict quality control systems and modern equipment upgrades, it has gradually aligned with international standards to meet the personalized needs of different overseas markets.
2.1 Quality Control System: Guaranteed by Multi-Round Inspection and Professional Cupping
At present, domestic coffee enterprises generally have established strict quality control systems. Taking an enterprise in Baoshan, Yunnan as an example, coffee beans undergo three rounds of inspections: "raw material storage—processing process—finished product delivery" to ensure the stable quality of each batch of products. At the same time, enterprises also conduct professional cupping (scoring based on aroma, flavor, acidity, balance, etc., with a score of 80 or above as the specialty coffee standard) to further select high-quality coffee, ensuring that export products meet the high-quality requirements of overseas customers.
2.2 Equipment and Process Optimization: Upgrading Production Capacity to Meet International Demands
The personalized needs of overseas customers have forced domestic enterprises to upgrade equipment and processes. To meet the requirements of South Korean customers for "coffee roasting yield over 96% and roasted bean defect rate below 5%", enterprises have introduced high-precision roasting production lines. In response to the on-site inspection needs of Russian customers for the production process, the cupping process and production environment have been optimized. Some enterprises have even built new factories to expand production capacity; for example, a processing workshop in Baoshan can produce 2 tons of roasted beans per day, and its processing capacity has gradually aligned with international standards.
3. STU Supply Chain: A Professional Solution Provider for Coffee Exports
Against the backdrop of the growth of the global coffee market and the diversification of China's coffee exports, STU Supply Chain, with its professional capabilities, provides full-chain support for coffee export enterprises and has become an excellent partner for enterprises to expand into international markets.
3.1 Global Coffee Market Opportunities: Broad Space Brought by Scale Growth

This trend brings broad space for China's coffee exports and also places higher requirements on cross-border logistics services.
