The company has played a big role in local poverty alleviation. It has 135 local employees and has paid more than 130 million yuan ($18 million) to herding families to buy their milk, rent their grassland and pay salaries, according to Kesang Gyaltsen.

"Every year, each herding family receives an annual income of 50,000 yuan to 500,000 yuan from being involved in this business," he said.

The company mainly serves the local markets but aims to diversify its product range by introducing milk powder and freeze-dried yogurt, which will soon be available in more provinces and regions.
