Shangrila county-level city is one of the 73 poorest counties in Yunnan Province, with an average annual household income of USD 2623. Because of lack of market access and bargaining power, villagers in Shangrila have to bear the below-the-market price offering and thus unable to sustain the families by selling coffee and honey.
