Shanxi village finds budding fortune in daylily planting

Earlier in 2011, the government of Yunzhou district launched a series of supportive policies to support daylily planting, including offering farmers subsidies and insurance, to promote the industry and help with poverty alleviation.

Hearing the news, Yang lobbied over 50 families in poverty in his village and set up a daylily plantation cooperative. They rented land of over 500 mu (33 hectares), standardized the plantation process, and improved product quality for better sales.
