Fuhai, located in north Xinjiang, is an important stock farming base in the region, with unique geographical and climatic conditions especially suitable for camel breeding. In recent years, camel breeding has developed into a pillar industry under promotion policy in Fuhai. By establishing camel milk cooperatives, individual herders here are accessing the dairy market through unified and stable sales channels. In 2021, the number of camels in the county has totaled 22,300, among which 6,470 are dairy camels with a daily milk output of 12,500 kilograms. (Xinhua/Ding Lei)
