　　The 40-year-old Bahetiguli Bikan grew up in a pastoral area, and has followed the transitional life of his fathers from winter to spring year after year. Life is more difficult.

"Our ancestors have lived by grazing for generations. 15 years ago, we heard that a Zhejiang boss came to us to build a factory and wanted to invest in a camel milk production line. I was very nervous at the time. I thought there was too little camel milk. How much money can I make? Later, I heard that this boss gave us interest-free loans to raise camels and purchase camel milk at a high price. My husband and I were very curious. The days are still the same. The first few camels have become rich. Some of them buy cars and some houses, which we envy."

　　In 2015, after discussing with her husband, Bahetiguli Bikan decided to seek an interest-free loan from a company to breed camels.

"We took the attitude of giving it a try, borrowed 100,000 yuan from the company, raised 20-humped camels, and had income in the second year. In 2019, the family income reached 300,000 yuan and this year 400,000 yuan. 90 Peak. Some time ago, the big households in the village said they would like to thank the company. After discussing together, they decided to donate a piece of their heart to the company. Our family donated 4,000 yuan." Bahitiguli Bikan said.

　　Born in 1985, Wumuerbek Musirhan is currently a major camel farmer in the Altay region. He not only bought two buildings of more than 100 square meters in the county seat, but also bought 4 cars for his family.

"At that time, my family was poor and I couldn't think of a way to get rich. Every year, I was herding sheep, either in the Gobi or in the mountains. After I started raising camels in 2014, the situation in my family improved." Talking about the days before 2014, Wumuerbek· Musr Khan shook his head straight.

　　With abundant natural resources, the Altay region has made the millennium transition "boat of the desert" camel the golden key for herders to get rich.

At present, more than 60,000 camels in Altay area have signed contracts with Xinjiang Wangyuan Biotechnology Group for milk sources.

"Because camels produce less milk, the daily output of camels per peak is about 2-3 kg. Our family has about 100 peaks of normal milk every day. It can be said that the family has income every day." Wumuerbek Musi Erhan said.

　　Boles Habayi, a herder in Salhumu Village, Karamagai Town, Fuhai County, told reporters excitedly that by raising camels, he walked out of his hometown, went to Beijing, and saw the outside world.

He said: "Xinjiang Wangyuan Biotechnology Group organizes us to visit outside Xinjiang and Hong Kong every year, which has opened our eyes to our herdsmen and knows that only by relying on our own hands can we have a happy life. It turns out that each family is one. The two-humped camels are used to transport the supplies of the family when they are transferred. It is of no use. Now camels have become treasures, which are more valuable than cows and horses."

　　Nowadays, herdsmen in the Altay region have embarked on the road to wealth with the help of enterprises.

According to a set of figures from Xinjiang Wangyuan Biotechnology Group, out of the 650 herders contracted in 2020, 27 herders have an annual net income of more than one million yuan, and 384 herdsmen have an annual net income of 100,000 to 990,000 yuan.

　　It is understood that Xinjiang Wangyuan Biotechnology Group has actively trained farmers and herdsmen to change their breeding concepts, provided camel-raising loans, and ordered to collect camel milk, and other methods to broaden the channels for farmers and herdsmen to increase their incomes and become rich.

Since 2014, the group has raised more than 30 million yuan in special funds each year, and loaned interest-free to farmers and herdsmen to raise high-quality camels.
