Our Story

Founded in June 2019, Yunnan Lichun Freeze-Dried Food Co., Ltd. is nestled in the pristine highlands of Yunnan Province, China. Our company emerged from a vision to preserve the exceptional flavors and nutritional integrity of Yunnan’s world-renowned agricultural treasures through advanced freeze-drying technology.

Situated in one of China’s most biodiverse regions, we benefit from Yunnan’s ideal growing conditions – high altitude, abundant sunshine, and mineral-rich soil. These natural advantages provide the perfect foundation for our premium products.

At Yunnan Lichun, we are committed to the full integration of agricultural processing, research, development, and distribution. Our mission is to transform Yunnan’s exceptional agricultural resources into convenient, nutritious products while maintaining their authentic flavors and nutritional profiles. We strive to become China’s leading green food enterprise by adhering to our core values of sustainability, quality, and innovation.

Core Business Divisions

Premium Freeze-Dried Products

Our state-of-the-art facility houses two advanced vacuum freeze-drying production lines with an annual capacity of 100 tons. Using cutting-edge lyophilization technology, we preserve the natural flavors, colors, textures, and nutritional content of our carefully selected fruits and vegetables.

The freeze-drying process involves:

  • Flash-freezing fresh produce at -40°C
  • Sublimating ice directly to vapor in a vacuum chamber
  • Gentle dehydration that preserves cellular structure and nutrients
  • Zero artificial preservatives or additives

Our product range includes freeze-dried strawberries, blueberries, mangoes, dragon fruit, and various seasonal specialties from Yunnan.

As stewards of Yunnan’s growing coffee industry, we operate:

  • A 50-acre seedling nursery producing 2 million coffee seedlings annually
