Severe drought could affect China's coffee industry (3)

CAYN statistics show the world produced about 7 million tonnes of coffee beans every year while China's annual coffee bean yield was only 40,000 tonnes.

China relies heavily on imports to meet its booming coffee demand, with imports accounting for about 90 percent of the country's consumption.

Yunnan Province had planned to more than double its coffee-growing area to about 67,000 hectares from the present 32,000 hectares and raise its annual output to 100,000 tonnes in the next five years.
