A small Chinese township, Qiaoxu, now processes 20% of the world's duck feathers, transforming its economy.
Qiaoxu, a small township in south China, has become a global leader in the feather and down industry, processing one in five of the world's duck feathers.
The transformation started in the 1980s when local entrepreneurs realized the value in processing duck feathers.
By the late 1990s, Qiaoxu had over 90 processing factories supplying major garment manufacturers.
Today, the industry in Qiaoxu is worth nearly $320 million, with cross-border sales exceeding $160 million and 40% of raw materials imported from Southeast Asia.
