The Pride of Xsampa; Investments into the Yak Industry.

What is one thing that foreigners associate with Xsampa? Besides socialism? Yaks! Xsampans love yaks! However, the Yak Industry has.. seen better days and as apart of the Lukhangwa Administrations goals of revitalizing rural economies, the Yak Industry must be supported. This'll not only make the industry more efficient, but primarily support rural economies which are seeing a new wave of growth thanks to diversification and support. The first step is of course, logistics. Investments will need to be made to expand rural veterinarian clinics, disease monitoring, mobile veterinarian teams for isolated herders, improved winter shelters for yaks and better management of grazing land. Worker Councils will, as per usual, continue to handle affairs such as breeding schedules, grazing rotations, labour organization, equipment purchases and herd expansion targets.

The second step is increasing domestic value. While some may suggest the idea of selling yaks on their own, this idea has been rejected for decades as not only is it an insult to yaks (of which the closest is them being used as friendship gifts), but it produces hardly any value. The equivalent of selling a car for the price of a tire. One of the key sub industries is Yak Meat. State Operated processing facilities will handle the production of fresh meat, frozen meat, vacuum sealed meat, canned products, smoked meat, sausages, dried meat and ready to eat meals. Furthermore, dairy! While yaks aren't as great for dairy needs as say, cows, yaks still are ultimately a solid mammal. Processing facilities will need to be expanded for the domestic production of milk, butter, cheese, yogurt, cream and powdered milk. The state will continue to focus on production whilst Social Enterprises compete for distribution. 

Alongside this, Yak wool. This helps the recently supported Textile Industry, as the state can guarantee the purchase of raw wool, and let them funnel into textile mills. Another way to increase domestic value of the Yak Industry is with leather. Investments will be poured into tanneries, leather treatment and quality control. Ideally, Social Enterprises will then be able to distribute and produce consumer goods that use leather, such as boots, belts, handbags, wallets, backpacks, work gloves and outdoor equipment. Every aspect of the Yak will need to serve a purpose. Bones can be used for fertilizers and gelatin, horns for buttons, tool handles or decorative crafts, fat for soap, candles and industrial lubricants, and manure for organic fertilizer. A proper socialist economy can not let anything go to waste. 

To ensure wealth stays in local communities, clusters will be needed. Rural Industrial Clusters. Each cluster may include veterinarian clinics, processing plants, wool collection centres, dairy processing, refrigerated warehouses and connection to the Xsampan Rail Network. The Yak Industry must be as strong as the weakest industry in Xsampa. An economy is only as strong as its weakest link. And no link must be weak.
