Neijiang Dongxing District Rationalize The Industry Chain Sericulture Industry Year By Year

"The Dongxing area has nearly one hundred thousand mu of mulberry trees this year, compared with 38 thousand mu in 2006."

Recently, Zhang Zhaoliang, director of the sericultural Bureau, reported to the experts of the provincial science and Technology Advisory Group in the three mulberry trees, which are full of green hills. "It is estimated that the profits and taxes of the silk industry in this region will reach 20 million yuan this year, an increase of 10 million yuan over last year."

In 2006, Dongxing District of Neijiang city seized the opportunity of "moving east and west to the west", and formulated the three step development strategy of "planting mulberry in 2007, managing mulberry in 2008, and greatly improving silkworm in 2009", and strive to undertake the industrial pfer of sericulture industry.

In 2006, the sericulture income of the whole area was 9 million 100 thousand yuan, the gross output value of the silk industry was 282 million yuan, and the sales income was 221 million yuan.

In 2007, the income of sericulture in the region was 14 million 464 thousand and 200 yuan, the total output value of silk industry was 418 million yuan, and sales revenue amounted to 348 million 800 thousand yuan.

"The raw material production capacity of our province's silk industry is only half of the processing capacity of silk enterprises."

Ceng Huaming, director of provincial sericulture management station, sighs.

In Dongxing, the supply of raw materials is even less than 1/10.

Take the provincial leading enterprise, Song Lin silk Co., Ltd. for example, the company needs more than 3000 tons of cocoon per year, while the annual output of Dongxing's dry cocoon is only 200 tons.

The silk industry has been greatly influenced by international factors.

The price of international silk fell to 140 thousand per ton in 05 years, and it rose to 342 thousand per ton in 06 years.

The fluctuation of silk prices is not only the farmers but also the enterprises.

Luo Gang, general manager of Song Lin silk factory, regrets: "Song Lin silk factory is the only enterprise in the province that has maintained no losses for 24 years, but it has been developing slowly, which has a huge relationship with the supply of raw materials."

In March 2008, under the promotion of relevant departments of the district government, the Song Lin silk factory signed a contract with the local farmers for a minimum price of 15 yuan per kilogram of dry cocoon purchase price.

"That's a lot easier!"

Shi Qingfeng, a farmer in the village of eight bridges in Sorghum town of Dongxing District, made an account: "my family has three labor forces, and 10 silkworms can be raised every season. Under normal circumstances, a silkworm can produce 20 kilograms of dried cocoons. Even if it is calculated according to 15 yuan a kilogram, if we have 5 seasons a year, we can receive twenty thousand yuan for our family."

As the starting year of planting mulberry and silkworm in Dongxing, in order to encourage farmers' enthusiasm, the Song Lin silk factory gave a price of 18.5 yuan to buy Dry cocoons in this area.

"The most important thing is that we should cultivate the enthusiasm of farmers, and they will be more active next year, and the raw material problem of our factory will be further solved."
