High on the windswept plateaus of Xizang, farmers are turning golden rapeseed fields into a modern-day treasure—one bottle of oil at a time. 🏔️ In Xigaze, known as the 'roof of the world,' this vibrant crop isn’t just a cultural staple—it’s a lifeline for communities thriving at 4,000 meters above sea level.
Local farmers, working with sustainable methods passed down generations, now produce premium rapeseed oil sold across China. Each bottle supports jobs, preserves agricultural traditions, and fuels economic growth in remote highland villages. 💼🌱 CGTN reporter Zang Shijie highlights how this 'liquid gold' bridges ancient practices and modern markets, proving that tradition can drive prosperity.
With demand rising, Xizang’s rapeseed oil is more than a kitchen essential—it’s a symbol of resilience. As one farmer put it: 'Our fields feed families and futures.' 🌍💛
