A targeted industrial assistance program under the Fujian-Ningxia partnership is helping transform a local poultry breed into a reliable source of income for villagers in Pengyang county, Ningxia Hui autonomous region, helping lift small-scale farming into a standardized and market-oriented operation.
The Chaona chicken, a rare breed native to Liupan Mountain, is known for its low-fat, high-protein meat and richly flavored eggs. Its breeding had long been constrained by small-scale production, low standardization, and limited industrial chains, preventing local farmers from translating the resource into steady earnings.
