Nearly 70% of the farmers in the village are involved in the mulberry industry.” Liang Anzhong, the first village secretary of Jiaxi Village who graduated from Peking University with a doctorate, said that at present, The village’s mulberry garden covers an area of 2,800 acres, with 160 collective silkworm houses.

If there are actual results, we will mobilize villagers to participate.” Lao Shoufan said.

Recently, the cadres stationed in Jiaxi Village have set their sights on the mushroom industry. “After studying and discussing, we decided to revitalize the idle silkworm houses in winter and explore the development of ‘mulberry edible fungi’ to help the masses solve the problem of lack of stable income sources in winter and spring, and achieve coverage of characteristic industries all year round.” Liang Anzhong said.
