Chengde Ruitai Food: Sustainable Poverty Alleviation Through Capital Returns Benefits Over a Thousand Farm Households

"This share capital return and dividend is truly a 'reassuring payment' for us farmers!" said the smiling farmers who received the benefits. With the support of Chengde Ruitai Food Co., Ltd., nearly 1,500 low-income farming households achieved stable income growth through cooperative shareholding.

As a leading enterprise in poverty alleviation, the company innovated a support model of "share capital return + dividend": farmers invest in cooperatives with resources or funds, while the company ensures returns through contract farming and industrial linkages. The cumulative share capital returned to farmers has exceeded £260,000, with dividends of over £140,000, directly helping more than 1,100 farming households increase their income.

From the contract signing tables in the fields to the scenes of farmers' increasing income, the smiling faces vividly illustrate the effectiveness of the support. Leveraging its advantages in the entire hawthorn industry chain, the company enables farmers to share in the industry's value-added benefits while stimulating internal growth through "long-term" poverty alleviation - farmers not only receive share dividends but can also participate in planting and processing, acquiring skills while broadening their income channels.

This tangible financial return exemplifies the company's commitment to social responsibility. In the future, the company will continue to deepen its industrial poverty alleviation model, using cooperatives as a bridge to help more farmers integrate into the specialty industry chain, steadily increasing their income and pursuing prosperity together on the path of rural revitalisation.
