Two sisters return home to start a chicken farm and embark on the road to prosperity
In recent years, Huihe Township in the suburban district of Tongling City, Anhui Province, has continuously advanced the development of the breeding industry. By stepping up publicity and guidance, increasing policy support, relying on farmers' professional cooperatives, and providing leadership through typical demonstrations, it has driven local villagers to prosper. Since 2015, Jin Xiaohong and Li Gang, who had previously worked away from home, returned to start a business, taught themselves chicken-raising techniques, opened up barren hills locally, and adopted a combination of "pen raising and free-range raising" to carry out scientific chicken farming. This year, there are more than 10,000 chickens on hand; the rearing period is about 6 months per batch, and an average of 2,500 eggs can be collected each day. Market demand exceeds supply, and annual income can reach 150,000 yuan.
