The cooperatives adopts the model of "party building + base + farmers", vigorously develops the ostrich farming industry with low feeding costs and good economic benefits, and has established a "hatching-breeding-processing-selling" whole industrial chain base. Ostrich products such as meat, eggs, fur and other products are exported to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong and other places. At present, the cooperatives has an annual breeding stock of more than 2,000 ostriches, with an annual output value of more than 5 million yuan.

In recent years, Hutubi County has deeply implemented the rural revitalization strategy, vigorously cultivated characteristic industries, and promoted villagers to increase their incomes and get better-off.
