Damiao Town is the town with the largest number of mulberry and sericulture plants in Tongliang, while Sanpin Village is the largest village in Damiao Town. “Our village has a long tradition of growing mulberry and raising silkworms. Currently, the village has a mulberry garden covering an area of 2,000 acres, raising 350 silkworms, and producing more than 300 tons of fresh mulberries.” said Hou He, secretary of the Party branch of Sanpin Village.
Hou He introduced that sericulture production, as a traditional characteristic industry in my country, plays a very important role in promoting the economic development of sericulture production areas and increasing farmers’ income. He did some calculations for reporters: the whole village raises 350 silkworms a year, and the income from each silkworm is 2,000 yuan. This alone can increase the village’s income by more than 700,000 yuan.

It is understood that Sanpin Village has successfully introduced more than 200 acres of high-protein mulberry from Zhejiang. The successful introduction of this variety can be made into mulberry leaf powder and mulberry leaf feed, which can lay a solid foundation for the whole village to develop feed sericulture and edible fungi. At the same time, relying on the sericulture industry, Sanpin Village also introduced enterprises to develop a series of sericulture products and expand the industrial chain. At present, products such as dried mulberries, mulberry wine, silk quilts, mulberry leaf tea, mulberry leaf noodles, mulberry essential oil, and mulberry fruits have been developed, successfully expanding the market and increasing the added value of the industry and the income of the people.
