Local Breed ‘Shide Yanchi’ Gains Market Value Through Solar‑Assisted Chicken Rearing

The initiative operates under a "company + village council + farmer" framework. Companies supply 50‑day healthy chicks, farmers raise them, and the firms handle integrated purchase and sale. Government support includes subsidies for poultry‑farming insurance and export incentives. As the venture expanded over the past two years, more farmers joined, but recent spikes in Yanchi chicken prices have slowed sales, prompting a search for diversified product lines and mixed‑breed rearing to open new market channels.
