With the “Silk” Road, there is a way out. This is how Chongqing Qianjiang builds the sericulture and silk industry chain
To peel off the cocoon
HaitongSilk, the leading silk reeling company in the country introduced by the “Shandong-Chongqing Cooperation”, the arrival of this Shandong company has made up for the shortcomings of silk processing in Qianjiang.
In the Haitong Silk factory in Zhengyang Industrial Park, Qianjiang, machines roared and female silk reeling workers walked back and forth on the production line. Silkworm cocoons are transformed into industrialized silk threads through high-temperature cooking and spinning, which are the most important raw materials for silk products.
The efficiency of modern machinery in “peeling off cocoons” is unmatched by traditional manual labor.
The relevant person in charge of Haitong Silk told Hualong.com-New Chongqing Client reporter that the project has a total investment of 350 million yuan and has formed a reeling production capacity of 2,000 threads. As a leading enterprise in the silk industry, Haitong will use Qianjiang as an important base to connect In the future, more intelligent equipment will be introduced to improve production efficiency and technology level, and further digest the local cocoon and silk production capacity.
Shuanghe Silk is an earlier silk company that entered Qianjiang. It was founded in 2006 by Zhejiang merchants. After 16 years of development, while doing its main business of silk reeling, the company has also established its own industrial chain, covering backward Bedding, clothing, silkworm health care and other products.
When talking about why they settled in Qianjiang, Haitong Silk and Shuanghe Silk both mentioned one reason – Qianjiang silkworms have unique advantages.
It is said that “spring silkworms will not run out of silk until they die.” In addition to spring silkworms, Qianjiang also has late autumn silkworm cocoons, which means that there is a longer raw material supply timeline.
Hualong.com-New Chongqing Client reporter saw in the Taiji Town standardized sericulture workshop that the 1,200-square-meter space was filled with steel-frame silkworm houses, and silkworm babies were lying on the “stacked” silkworm beds and enjoying themselves. Delicious, the villagers working here fed the freshly picked mulberry leaves one after another.
A villager told Hualong.com-New Chongqing Client reporter that they can earn about 3,000 yuan a month from working here.
In the autumn and winter, farmers and breeding companies will sell silkworm cocoons together. In the past, they could only sell them to middlemen and earn very little. Now, with the entry of leading silk reeling companies, the income of silkworm farmers has been improved. Good guarantee.
Everything is right
Any industry is inseparable from top-level design.
The person in charge of the Qianjiang District Forestry Bureau told Hualong.com-New Chongqing Client reporter that under the coordination of the District Committee and District Government, the district has completed the complete sericulture and silk industry puzzle in a few steps.
Top-down decision-making and deployment have resulted in “down-to-earth” industrial planning.
The first “button” of “every detail” is to strengthen technological innovation. Qianjiang District has established 3 technical teams within the district, including the town and township sericulture science and technology service station, the district sericulture management station, and the Qianjiang Branch of the Chongqing Academy of Sericulture Sciences, and 3 outside expert teams from the National Sericulture Technology System, Southwest University, and the Municipal Sericulture Technology System, as well as 25 sericulture science and technology commissioners have explored the “six modernizations and five supporting facilities” technology route suitable for sericulture production in Qianjiang.
An important basis for scientific and technological empowerment is the establishment of the Cocoon and Silk Industry Academician Expert Workstation in Qianjiang. Through the power of academicians and experts, Qianjiang supports scientific sericulture in Qianjiang.
The second “button” is the demonstration of effective connection. Mulberry planting and sericulture have become a major industry that effectively connects poverty alleviation and rural revitalization, covering 80% of towns and 70% of poverty-alleviated villages in the region.
In order to ensure the interests of the majority of sericulture farmers, Qianjiang District is also the first in the country to pilot a district-wide cocoon income insurance. Four insurance service providers were selected through public bidding. Based on the cost of sericulture and the income over the years, the insurance amount was reasonably determined to be 1,500 yuan/ Zhang, convert the target unit price based on the average output, and start compensation when the cocoon sales price is lower than the target price; it is clear that the insurance rate is 6%, and the compensation amount is capped at 300% of the premium. The premium is based on other policy-based agricultural insurance and is funded by financial subsidies, The silkworm farmers raised funds through self-payment.
This new “price-insured model” of the government + insurance company has been very popular since its launch. In the first year of its launch, silkworm farmers voluntarily insured nearly 60,000 silkworm seeds, benefiting 10,600 households.
The third “button” is the reform of systems and mechanisms. Qianjiang District has promoted the establishment of an orderly competition mechanism in the market, forming a healthy competition pattern between the two leading enterprises in the district’s Sericulture Company and Chongqing Haitong Silk Company; established a pricing mechanism for fresh-grade cocoons of silkworms to achieve high-quality cocoons and improved prices; The sericulture base construction and management mechanism implements a base construction model in which the government supports base construction, enterprises lead base management, and sericulture farmers produce independently; a government-led, insurance company and sericulture farmer-participated whole-process insurance mechanism for silkworm cocoon breeding and income has been established to effectively prevent industrial Big ups and downs.
Gradual reforms and precise policy support have also laid the foundation for the iterative upgrading of Qianjiang’s sericulture and silk industry.
Thousands of clues
The fundamental purpose is to build an industry around rural revitalization and benefit thousands of households.
Qianjiang has built a silkworm and silk industry chain in order to keep the entire industry local. At present, the area has built a business covering mulberry planting, sericulture, baking, silk reeling, silk weaving, clothing, and silk production.As one of the leading industries in development, the output value of the entire industry chain will reach 3.5 billion yuan by the end of the “14th Five-Year Plan”. The second step is to deepen the cooperation with sister cities such as Nanchong, Sichuan, to build a dual-core demonstration zone for the sericulture and silk industry in the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle, to join forces, learn from each other, and sing the “sericulture chapter” of the “Tale of Two Cities”. The third step is to innovate the traditional mulberry planting, sericulture and silk reeling and weaving technologies, inject new intelligent modern technologies, and promote the sericulture and silk industry to work together on “reduction on the input side” and “increase on the income side” to make the “Chengdu-Chongqing New Silk Road” “, Sericulture New Economy” has become a brand supporting economic development and regional cooperation.
Reporter’s Notes:
As the regional central city of the Wuling Mountain Town Cluster in southeastern Chongqing, Qianjiang has always been known for its advantages in industry, commerce, and transportation. In fact, it is also “dazzling” in the agricultural field. Hualong.com-New Chongqing Client reporter conducted on-site interviews and witnessed Qianjiang’s vision and results of using “good mountains and good waters” to create a sericulture and silk industry. We have a thorough understanding of the industrial chain and keep the value chain in the local area, so that all practitioners can benefit, and we have embarked on a revitalization path of common prosperity.
There is no need to wait, and opportunities are created by oneself. Qianjiang people have won a way out with the “Silk” road. This road has a bright future.
