In recent years, as the global financial crisis has intensified, China has not been immune to its effects. Many small and medium-sized enterprises and factories, both in coastal and inland regions, have shut down, leading to widespread unemployment. This has placed significant economic pressure on cities and rural areas alike. In response, the Chinese government has implemented macroeconomic policies aimed at stabilizing the economy. These measures include supporting the agricultural sector, encouraging migrant workers to return to their hometowns and start businesses, promoting large-scale farming, and advancing agricultural industrialization. By developing high-value agricultural products, the government is helping to revitalize rural economies.
Through financial support, tax incentives, technological assistance, human resource development, and industrial policy guidance, the government is fostering the growth of professional farmers. This initiative aims to stimulate rural economies and create a path toward prosperity. One of the key projects in this effort is the breeding of Laoshan Black Goats, which has become a major source of income for many farmers and a driving force for rural entrepreneurship.
Zhou Zhengguo, a former factory worker from Anhua County, Hunan Province, shared his experience: “This year, I had to return home after my workshop closed. I joined a local breeding base where 30 Laoshan black goats were introduced. I take care of them every day, and I come back home when it's dark. I'm busy all day, but I feel satisfied. Recently, I sold a batch of goats and made 20,000 yuan.†As he was feeding the animals, he smiled with pride.
Lao Zhu started raising Laoshan black goats in 2007, beginning with just 40 goats. Today, he has over 200 in his herd, with 100 slaughtered this year. His total flock has grown by more than 50% compared to the same period last year. “At an average price of 800 yuan per goat, I made a net profit of 80,000 yuan in six months,†he said. “This fall, I plan to build another sheepfold and expand my operation.â€
Lao Zhu, who used to work outside as a small business owner, admitted that he didn’t make much money outside. He decided to return home and start breeding. Initially, he didn’t know much about the technology, so he spent days in the barn learning through hands-on experience. He combined theoretical knowledge with practical training, gradually mastering the techniques. Any problems he couldn’t solve on his own were addressed with help from the breeding base. “Raising goats is convenient and stable compared to working in the fields,†he added.
The trend of returning to rural areas has reached a peak, and aquaculture and farming are becoming increasingly popular. The breeding of Laoshan black goats is now a favored choice among entrepreneurs looking to build sustainable livelihoods in the countryside.
