China's coffee industry booms amid opening up

In Menglian County, located near the China-Myanmar border, Na Nu, an ethnic Lahu farmer from Paliang Village, has planted over 1 hectare of coffee, earning more than 70,000 yuan ($9,800) by selling coffee berries in the 2021-2022 coffee production season.

During the season, the coffee industry helped locals, the majority of whom belong to ethnic minority groups, earn a total of 266 million yuan.
