On December 25, a duck farmer grazed his ducks in Lihua Village, Xialiu Town, Hengdong County. The village committee has leveraged its traditional strengths in poultry and egg farming and processing in recent years. It has established a "village-cooperative integration" model to encourage villagers to raise ducks and introduce processing enterprises to extend the industrial chain. The initiative has effectively increased both the added value of duck eggs and farmers' incomes. (Photo/Cao Zhengping and Huang Zheng)
