Karim Taharibek (left) has given up grazing to cultivate mushrooms under the instruction of a technician in a settlement in Haiyanzi township in Barkol. He earned more than 10,000 yuan ($1,600) in 2011 from his mushroom business, almost double his 2010 income when he sold sheep. |
Early every morning, Karim Taharibek enjoys tea at his house in a settlement in Haiyanzi township, Barkol Kazak autonomous county. The former herdsman has no sheep to care for anymore, instead he has to ensure his mushrooms grow strong and healthy.
