Phurbu Phutri, a resident of Kochak village in the city's Samdrubtse district, described herself to Kuaisou Xizang, a local news portal, on Sunday as one of thousands of beneficiaries. She has been relying on a locally based highland barley production company to earn a steady income for her family. The company was founded in 2006.
