Cordyceps
Yushu cordyceps thrives on snowy plateaus above 4,000 meters, where pristine air, glacial meltwater, and unpolluted soil create its distinctive quality.
For local herders and farmers, this fungus represents far more than a health supplement--it is their economic lifeline. Cordyceps comprises over 80% of household income for many families, directly funding children's education and sustaining livelihoods.
Our mission is to introduce this highland treasure to nearby provinces and Southeast Asian markets, raising global awareness of its cultural and medicinal value. This expansion ensures fair compensation for Yushu communities, fostering improved living standards, ecological preservation, and authentic sustainable development.
