Fang Qin, a worker at a caviar factory, is deftly ensuring that there are enough supplies for the annual online shopping spree, the annual Double 12 or 12-12 festival, at a caviar factory in Shishi town of Quzhou city, East China's Zhejiang province.

The town has the largest integrated sturgeon breeding farm in Asia. With an overall output value of over 500 million yuan ($68.76 million) in 2023, the base offers job opportunities to more than 80 farmers from the area, and their average annual per capita income has increased by more than 40,000 yuan.

"Before working for this company, I was just a housewife with no income, but now I have a job with a stable income. Working here is convenient as it's close to my home," Fang said.

"I started as a packer, and now I am promoted to the supervisor of this workshop," Fang added.

"I receive a larger salary, with the increase in our order volume. My monthly salary can reach up to between 8,000 to 9,000 yuan now," said Fang.
