520 million yuan in cocoon money in Gaoxian County, Sichuan, bulging the pockets of silkworm farmers
On November 8, the author learned from the Agricultural and Rural Affairs Bureau of Gaoxian County, Sichuan Province that in the first five batches of silkworms this year, a total of 232,000 silkworm seeds were distributed in Gaoxian County, a year-on-year increase of 1.8%; 10.695 million kilograms of fresh cocoons were produced, a year-on-year increase of 10.695 million kilograms. An increase of 4.5%; silkworm farmers’ income from cocoon payments was 520 million yuan.
Gaoxian County is the “hometown of sericulture in China” and “the production base of high-quality cocoons and silk in China”. The county currently has 235,000 acres of mulberry gardens, ranking first in the province in planting area, covering 13 towns, 134 villages, 30,000 farmers and nearly 100,000 silkworm farmers. Sericulture is the pillar industry with the widest coverage among the current planting and breeding industries in Gao County and the fastest-growing income of farmers.
In recent years, Gaoxian County has taken “science and technology to promote silkworms” as the starting point, solved the problem of silkworms and mulberry varieties through “introducing silkworms from the east to the west”, and built a “company + sericulture association + county sericulture station, town agricultural center + silkworm cocoon” A four-level service network of stations, village sericulture workers, co-breeding households + technology demonstration households has established a small silkworm production network supported by “co-breeding rooms + co-breeding factories”, “technicians + co-breeding factories” and “co-breeding households + sericulture farmers” The co-education service system solves quality issues through “co-education support” and achieves professional and intensive development. At the same time, the county allocates special funds every year to reward silkworm farmers in lieu of subsidies, and vigorously promotes the technology of “co-cultivating young silkworms + evaluating and selling cocoons” to improve the quality of silkworm cocoons.
Since the beginning of this year, sericulture technicians at all levels in Gaoxian County have made full use of Yuanba meetings, farmers’ night schools and other positions to carry out technical training in various forms, urging sericulture farmers to do a good job in mulberry orchard management, and laying a solid foundation for a high yield of mulberry leaves; on the other hand, Promote relevant sericulture industry policies through radio, WeChat groups and other media, and encourage sericulture farmers to actively engage in sericulture production to scientifically increase their income. In addition, relying on more than 300 silkworm co-breeding rooms and more than 30 professional silkworm co-breeding factories in the county, we will continue to promote the “silkworm co-breeding + Yi Ping cocoon sales” technology to help farmers increase their income.
“This year’s sixth batch of silkworms has produced more than 9,000 seeds in the county, a year-on-year increase of 27%. Judging from the recent temperature, the cocoon production is expected to reach 500,000 kilograms, and the income of silkworm farmers from cocoons is more than 26 million yuan.” Gao County Silkworms The relevant person in charge of the technical department said that due to the relatively good temperature, sericulture farmers are highly motivated to raise the sixth batch of silkworms. They are currently strengthening the guidance of key sericulture techniques for sericulture farmers, striving to achieve a bumper harvest of the last batch of cocoons throughout the year.
