STORYLINE:
Turpan, a major grape-producing region in northwest China's Xinjiang, has found a clever use for its previously discarded grape leaves.
These leaves are now exported to Mediterranean countries to be used in making "dolma," a popular delicacy wrapped in grape leaves.
This initiative has provided a new and lucrative income source for local farmers.

The leaves will then be delivered to collection points for assessment, weighing, and payment.
