Rainbow trout grower banks on BRI boost for big rewards

Qinghai Minze to tap nation's rising demand for fresh, smoked salmon

Qinghai Minze Longyangxia Ecological Aquaculture Co, a major rainbow trout grower by production volume in Northwest China's Qinghai province, will raise its output to 15,000 metric tons by the end of this year to supply both the home market and economies related to the Belt and Road Initiative.

Located in China's inland region, the company has already supplied rainbow trout products, raised in clear and cold water, to Russia, and has developed trout-related tourism and sport activities around the Longyangxia Reservoir to take part in the country's poverty alleviation campaign.
