In recent years, the government of Ulanqab city, Inner Mongolia autonomous region has striven to develop featured local industries. A model has been implemented in which poverty alleviation funds and subsidies are leveraged and “enterprises + a cooperative + impoverished people” are involved in order to develop modern farming and animal husbandry undertakings and help poverty-stricken people become more prosperous.
