2022-06-02 11:10:44
Xinben Village in Yizhang County is located in the Luoxiao mountains in the south of Hunan. It’s a remote village short of infrastructure and industries.
Before 2015, the villagers’ low incomes completely came from an independent small-scale peasant economy and the collective income of the village was less than 5,000 yuan.
In recent years, under the leadership of the two committees of the village, local people have planted navel oranges on the hill, built animal farms down the hill, planted tobacco in the field and grown fruits in greenhouses. The villagers also devote themselves to developing industries including building supply, photovoltaic power generation, and house-renting.
In 2021, the per capita disposable income of the villagers amounted to 14,350 yuan and the income of the collective economy in the village reached 269,600 yuan.

With its annual capacity over 80 million standard bricks, its annual production value has been improved to 28 million yuan and its annual profit 6 million yuan.
In 2017, Xinben Village became a shareholder of the company with an investment of 450,000 yuan, enjoying fixed dividends. Every year, the investment brings 39,600 yuan to the collective income of the village.
Meanwhile, the company has offered posts to over 40 villagers, promising its employees to earn more than 3,000 yuan per month.
Make use of mild climate

Xinben Village not only cooperates with Zhanxiang Green Agriculture Co., Ltd. that provides technological support and platforms to sell products, but also makes use of the financial subsidy of 927,700 yuan and the investment of 100,000 yuan.
Besides, Xinben Village together with Cheng Benfa founded Chunhe Cooperative in 2016. At present, Chunhe plants 500 mu (33.33 hectares) of navel oranges with an annual income reaching 800,000 yuan. The annual income of each local household increases by 4,000 yuan and the committee of the village gets a fixed dividend of 10,000 yuan each year.
