This year, **Sadikeyuzi Township in Yining County, Ili, based itself on the targeted poverty alleviation strategy and established the "Huihuinong" flower planting cooperative, vigorously developing specialty flower planting and promoting increased farmer income. The township government carried out professional flower planting technical training for cooperative members and provided farmers with seeds and other means of production, and villagers can also earn labor income at the base. So far, the cooperative has built more than 260 household-style greenhouses, sold a total of 1.8 million flowers, and driven more than 320 ethnic minority villagers to achieve an average annual income increase of nearly 4,000 yuan per person.
