Xiaojiang Town, Yangshan County: The traditional sericulture industry has embarked on a new “Silk Road”
Walking into Shaliao Village, Xiaojiang Town, Yangshan County, large swaths of mulberry trees are neatly arranged. The branches of the mulberry branches are turning fresh green, and sprouts are sprouting in the wind. More than a dozen silkworm farmers shuttled through the mulberry fields picking mulberry leaves, talking and laughing, presenting a busy, orderly and vibrant scene. In the silkworm-raising greenhouses not far away, young silkworms are fertilized, and silkworm farmers are feeding the silkworms.
In recent years, Xiaojiang Town has closely focused on rural revitalization and regarded the sericulture industry as a key industry. It has strived to build a 450-acre modern sericulture industry demonstration base in Shaliao Village to jointly build original cocoon production and new mulberry varieties and new technology experimental demonstrations The base is 217 acres. At the same time, by taking one point to another, we will activate the development of rural characteristic industries, explore the path of rural revitalization that will lead to prosperous industries, strong villages and people, and write a new chapter in the coordinated development of urban and rural areas.
Old industries + new “Silk Road”
The sericulture industry helps farmers increase their income and become rich
“My father’s generation used to grow mulberry silkworms, but they only planted some by themselves and raised a few silkworms, and the income was not high. Gradually, fewer and fewer farmers in the village are willing to grow mulberry and raise silkworms.” Sha Sha Chen Kaixuan, a sericulture farmer in Liaochun, said that he used to work in Foshan. In 2018, with the encouragement and support of the government and his family, he came back to plant mulberry and raise silkworms. Currently, I have planted 8 acres of mulberry fields. Last year I raised more than 10 silkworms and produced cocoons, earning an annual income of 70,000 yuan. This year, we plan to increase the amount of mulberry fields and sericulture, and strive to achieve an annual income of more than 100,000 yuan.
According to reports, Shaliao Village has a history of growing mulberry and raising silkworms for more than 40 years. Since the 1990s, the village has been closely linked and developed with the Yangshan Branch of Guangdong Silk Source Collective Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Siyuan Yangshan Branch, formerly Yangshan County Xingda Sericulture Company). Today, it has formed a The integrated production and operation model of “company + base + cooperative + farmers” and “supplying seeds, guiding production (sericulture farmers), recycling products (seed cocoons), and producing and selling silkworm seeds” enables the sericulture industry in the village to achieve unified planning and unified Management, unified quality, unified sales, achieving large-scale planting, scientific fertilization, and standardized management, “silkworm babies, golden leaves” have truly enriched the people’s pockets.
“Silkworm babies’ requirements are very strict, and they must pay attention to temperature, humidity, etc.” Li Tiandi has more than 10 years of experience in growing mulberry and raising silkworms. In 2020, she was hired by the Siyuan Yangshan Branch as a technician at the Sericulture Demonstration Base in Shaliao Village, where she was responsible for the care of young silkworms. She witnessed the changes brought by the sericulture industry to the masses.
According to reports, Shaliao Village has a cultivated land area of 3,017.25 acres, jurisdiction over 20 village groups, and 708 households with 3,164 people. Crops such as corn, rice, and peanuts were once the main source of income for the village.
“The growth cycle of this type of crops is long, but the sericulture industry is different. It has low cost, good benefits, and can make money quickly. Especially now that the base is responsible for raising small silkworms, villagers can directly take them back and raise them into big silkworms. In this way, Come, a batch of silkworms can be raised in half a month.” Li Tiandi said that the base is responsible for the high-risk small silkworm breeding process, while the villagers are responsible for the relatively easy and relatively low-risk large silkworm raising process, which can drive farmers Get started easily and achieve low-risk sericulture. “In addition, experts come to provide guidance regularly. The success rate of sericulture and the quality of cocoons are much higher, which makes sericulture farmers very worry-free!”
The benefits are also obvious. It is understood that at present, the Shaliao Village Sericulture Demonstration Base has transferred the land of 143 local villagers and hired 40 villagers to work in the base for a long time. Each person can achieve an annual income of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. At the same time, the base has also led more than 80 surrounding villagers to use their private land to develop the mulberry and sericulture industry. In this process, many villagers can obtain the quadruple benefits of “project income dividends + land transfer funds + base labor salaries + driving income from planting and breeding”.
Chen Zhicai, Secretary of the Party Branch of Shaliao Village and Director of the Village Committee, said: “We successfully applied for the provincial ‘One Village, One Product Demonstration Village’ in 2021. Sericulture is a feature of our Shaliao Village. Through the transfer of land, enterprises have driven The village collective income last year reached 100,000 yuan, three times more than five years ago.”
Continue to make efforts to promote the integrated development of the three industries
Polish the business card of sericulture specialty agriculture
As a traditional industry to increase income and create wealth, sericulture has played an important role in promoting the revitalization and development of local villages.
In recent years, Xiaojiang Town has proposed to regard the sericulture industry as a dominant industry for people to get rich and increase their income. Relying on industrial support policies, it has actively sought project support, increased the promotion of new varieties, and promoted the integrated development of the three industries by cultivating the “sericulture green” characteristic industry. , boosting economic development.
According to reports, Xiaojiang Town and Siyuan Yangshan Branch cooperated to actively promote the development of the silkworm cocoon industry, and in 2019 built a 217-acre original cocoon standardized planting demonstration base with Yangshan’s local advantages, complete with supporting facilities An 800-square-meter silkworm co-breeding room, a 200-square-meter storage space and ancillary rooms were built. At the same time, through the demonstration and guidance of the base, people in individual households can be organized to demonstrate, promote and apply new sericulture varieties and new technologies, lead more farmers to develop sericulture production, and jointly promote the continuous development and expansion of the local sericulture industry.
Siyuan Yangshan Branch is in chargeLiu Wulin said: “In terms of planting mulberries, we focus on promoting excellent mulberry varieties, especially new varieties such as Yuesang No. 11, Yuesang No. 51, and Kangqing No. 10. Basically, we have developed large-scale cultivation in recent years. Silkworms are high-quality, high-yielding, disease-resistant mulberry seedlings. If the area reaches more than 200 acres of development, its output can be increased by more than 30%.”
At present, the mulberry garden area in Xiaojiang Town reaches 1,055 acres, of which 450 acres are in Shaliao Village. An average of more than 7,000 raw silkworm seeds are raised annually, with an annual production of 110 tons of seed cocoons, and an annual output value of more than 7,000 yuan per mu ( The sericulture period is 7 months), and the average annual output value of sericulture production reaches 9.9 million yuan.
Nowadays, the sericulture industry in Xiaojiang Town is developing well and orderly. The soil and water support the people, and the industry activates the economy of the place. In the next step, Xiaojiang Town will further polish the business card of sericulture specialty agriculture, strive to create more special products, start comprehensive utilization, implement the construction of mulberry fish pond demonstration base, plant high-quality fruit mulberries, implement fish pond fish farming, and pond ridge fruit planting. The ecological recycling agricultural model of using mulberry and pond mud as mulberry fertilizer gradually promotes the comprehensive recycling of sericulture such as planting mulberry and raising silkworms, planting mulberry and raising fish, planting mulberry and raising people, and planting mulberry and raising land, as well as “agricultural development” of mulberry picking, fishing, and science tourism. “Tourism” development will form the integrated development of primary, secondary and tertiary industries and promote the high-quality development of the town’s economy.
