Mainly producing various textile products such as carpets, cushions and so on, the Kunglang Langba Textile Specialized Cooperative for Farmers and Herdsmen was established in 2019 in Kunglang Village, Namling County, Xigaze City, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region. Currently, it has 42 employees, with women accounting for the majority.

"As the highland barley has been harvested, and there is nothing else to do in the field, I quickly return to the cooperative to work, with a daily wage of 180 yuan." Says 35-year-old Tsering Dekyi, who has been working in the cooperative for over three years, and is quite satisfied with the free work time and good income.

Since its establishment, the cooperative has provided employment opportunities for 100 more people, and has also trained more than 130 women knitters in nearby towns. "I'm planning to contract the products to qualified trainees to produce at home, and provide them with sales channels." Says Sonam, head of the cooperative.

In order to improve product visibility, Sonam also actively participates in various skills competitions and has achieved good results. In July this year, Sonam won the third prize in the hand-woven event finals during the first National Farmer Skills Competition.

Besides, in order to solve the employment problem of women who cannot work faraway due to taking care of their families, various cooperatives such as weaving, breeding, and furniture making have successively been established in Namling County, which are of great significance to rural revitalization.
