Choose a school and major
It is the topic that candidates are most concerned about

I recommended the coffee major of my alma mater
"It's a pleasure to grow and eat a lot of tropical fruit
There is also a new major in coffee, and comprehensive learning is good for employment"

The coffee major mentioned by Ding refers to "coffee science and engineering". Not long ago, Yunnan Agricultural University successfully applied for the country's first coffee science and engineering major, becoming the first major in the country to open coffee undergraduate talent training.
What kind of major is this? What do students learn? Let's take a look↓
The Coffee Science and Engineering major is offered by the College of Tropical Crops of Yunnan Agricultural University and is located in Pu'er, the "Coffee Capital of China". It bears a high resemblance to the ancient primeval forests of the Ethiopian highlands, the birthplace of coffee in the world, and is ideal for growing small-grain coffee.
The coffee science and engineering major combines the primary, secondary and tertiary industries, not only with basic courses in food science and engineering, but also professional core courses such as coffee flavor chemistry, coffee processing, coffee roasting and tasting, as well as professional comprehensive practical courses such as engineering training and skill training.
The establishment of innovation and entrepreneurship platforms, the combination of schools and enterprises and other institutional mechanisms to ensure the employment needs of students, but also to make up for the current shortage of coffee professionals in China. Yang Xuehu, Dean of the School of Hot Crops, said, "The training of coffee science and engineering is not only in a certain direction, but also for the entire industrial chain, and the employment prospects of students are very good." ”
Taking the coffee flavor chemistry class as an example, many people can't sleep when drinking coffee, and through this course, students can learn how to soak coffee beans with acetic acid, ethyl ester and other solvents during processing, so as to remove the caffeine and make coffee intolerant people drink coffee safely. According to the teachers in the college, by analyzing coffee beans with a map, they can be more accurately controlled before processing, after processing, and even every minute of material changes.
98% of Chinese coffee is in Yunnan, while 55% of Yunnan coffee is in Pu'er.
Nowadays, after trial and error of "extensive growth", Yunnan coffee has entered the stage of high-quality and high-quality production. In the past two years, the quality rate of Yunnan coffee has increased from less than 8% to 22.7%, and the intensive processing rate has increased from less than 20% to 56%. It is estimated that by 2024, the rate of coffee quality will reach 30%, and the deep processing rate will reach 80%.

The latest report on the coffee industry shows that China's coffee industry is in a high-speed development trend. In 2023, the scale of China's coffee industry will reach 265.4 billion yuan, and it is expected that the scale of the coffee industry will reach 313.3 billion yuan in 2024. According to the current scale, the talent gap in the secondary coffee industry in China is not less than 10,000, and the talent gap in the tertiary industry is not less than 100,000.
"The process of cultivating high-quality talents is bound to accelerate." Li Xuejun, vice president of the College of Hot Crops, said that the original majors such as agronomy and food science and engineering can only meet the needs of a small number of talents, and the knowledge structure is not systematic and focused enough. It is also said that coffee practitioners learn from training courses and do not need to go to university, but most of these people "know what it is, but do not know why".
In the future, the Coffee Science and Engineering major will focus on cultivating compound talents with R&D and engineering design capabilities of new coffee products, new processes and new technologies: they must not only understand planting and processing, but also understand coffee culture, and have certain coffee innovation R&D capabilities.
