Surging sales of specialty products have boosted the increases in the villagers' incomes, said Sonam Tseten, noting the per capita disposable income of households in the village reached nearly 20,000 yuan in 2024.

"For Guoluozanggongma, our new goal is to fully realize rural revitalization as we have shaken off poverty," said Sonam Tseten.

To boost the capacity for advancing rural revitalization, the village established a collectively-owned company in August last year, focusing on the processing and sales of animal husbandry products. Since its inception, the company has achieved sales exceeding 1 million yuan.

According to Sonam Tseten, earnings of the village's collective economy surpassed 1.8 million yuan in 2024 alone, laying a solid foundation for the village's future development.

These two villages epitomize the quick economic growth in rural areas across Qinghai. Official data showed that in the first half of 2025, the per capita disposable income of rural residents in the province reached 7,257 yuan, representing a year-on-year increase of 5.9 percent.

In particular, the province recorded thriving market vitality in rural areas, characterized by surging tourist arrivals and the retail sales of consumer goods, the statistics showed.

"With increasing villagers' incomes and a stronger collective economy, we are very confident in achieving the rural revitalization," Sonam Tseten said.
