Zhu Zhai Roast Duck

Zhu Zhai Roast Duck

　　Zhu Zhai Town is located in the western part of Pei County, covering a total area of 82 square kilometers with 68,000 mu of arable land, averaging 1.2 mu of farmland per capita. It administers 22 administrative villages and 104 natural villages, with a total population of 65,000.

　　　　The town’s Party committee and government focus on increasing farmers’ incomes and have vigorously promoted the large-scale development of high-efficiency agriculture, forming a new pattern in agricultural development. Zhu Zhai Town has relatively well-developed livestock farming and vegetable cultivation. There are over 20 diversified farming projects, including ecological roast duck breeding, pig farming, beef cattle, Dutch potatoes, shallow-water lotus, and facility vegetables, among which ecological roast duck breeding and pig farming are particularly prominent.

　　 Roast duck farming in Zhu Zhai Town began in 1992 and reached a significant scale after 1995. It has now become the largest roast duck breeding base in China, forming a 10-kilometer breeding belt along Longhe Road and six breeding zones. Meanwhile, along Pei-Feng Road, a trading market, parent duck hatchery, feed processing plant, roast duck processing plant, and a 400-ton cold storage facility have been established, creating an integrated industrial base for breeding, processing, sales, technology, industry, and trade. The annual output includes 25 million roast ducks, with 16 million processed and 40,000 tons sold. This has effectively driven the development of the roast duck farming industry across the town and surrounding areas, becoming a new highlight for increasing farmers’ incomes in Zhu Zhai.
