(260601) -- JIANGMEN, June 1, 2026 (Xinhua) -- A man checks the coffee cherries in Jiangmen, south China's Guangdong Province, May 25, 2026.

Jiangmen, a renowned hometown of overseas Chinese, has built a remarkable coffee industry from scratch.

Leveraging its global networks, the city has created a complete industrial chain, ranging from green coffee bean trading and smart roasting to ware manufacturing, with an annual output value exceeding 3 billion yuan (approximately 443 million U.S. dollars).

Thanks to its strong ties with overseas Chinese, Jiangmen became an early hub for coffee roasting in China. Today, it imports over 300 varieties of premium green coffee beans from major producing countries like Brazil, Ethiopia and Colombia. And it is now home to a total of 21 certified roasters with an annual capacity exceeding 10,000 tonnes.

Beyond the beans, Jiangmen has more than 350 local firms producing coffee equipment and components, supplying about 40 percent of China's stainless steel coffee ware and producing one out of every five coffee machines exported from China. (Xinhua/Deng Hua)
