Two women carry a bucket of milk in Xiaxinzhuang village in Beijing's suburban Yanqing county. With the support of local government, the village started building cow farms in 2003 and has helped many farmers improve living standards. However, many farmers in Beijing and Hebei province have been forced to discard the milk they collect and close business, as raw milk procurement price keeps diving recently amid rising cost and competition from import.
