How Was The Myth Of Silkworm Rearing Created?

In recent years, the price of cocoon has gone up. Last year, Xiangzhou County, Guangxi County, has 227 thousand acres of mulberry field, 751 thousand silkworms, 27 thousand and 600 tons of fresh cocoons and 890 million yuan of total output value.

There are about 150 thousand silkworm farmers in the county. Only one silkworm was raised last year, and the average annual income of sericultural farmers is 5933 yuan.

This is the highest value of silkworm farmers' income in the past ten years.

The reason is not only the "remote" promotion of international silk price, but also the innate superiority of Xiangzhou and the persistence of local sericultural farmers.

The geographical advantages of Xiangzhou sericulture are obvious.

Pan Jiakuan, director of sericultural service station of Xiangzhou County Agricultural Bureau, told reporters that the best growth temperature of silkworms is 27-28 degrees Celsius.

Situated in Xiangzhou County, the Western foot of the great Yao mountain, the natural conditions for planting mulberry and raising silkworms are unique.

The county has mild climate, abundant light and abundant rainfall. The annual average temperature of the county is 20.8 degrees. It belongs to the humid agricultural climate belt with a monsoon in the subtropical zone to the central subtropics. It has a silkworm period of 7 months throughout the year.

In addition, the northern part of Xiangzhou is close to Jinxiu and gets the indirect "nourishing" of the great Yao mountain spring water. The annual rainfall of the county is 1314.3 millimeters and the rain is abundant, which is an indispensable condition for the growth of mulberry trees.

The history of the development of mulberry industry in Xiangzhou County can be traced back to the 80s of last century. After nearly 20 years of slow progress, it did not enter the stage of rapid development until 2000.

It is understood that in 2000, the county's mulberry garden area was only 5 thousand mu, only a year later, the mulberry area expanded to 37 thousand mu.

Since then, the development of silkworm industry in Xiangzhou County has been out of control.

Last year, the area of mulberry mulberry has increased to 227 thousand mu, and this year it has increased by 13 thousand mu.

Since 2008, the per capita area of mulberry has reached the first place in the whole region, and the total area and yield of mulberry garden are second in the whole region. It has become an important cocoon production base in Guangxi and the first area of "East sang Xi shift", and the silkworm industry has become one of the leading industries in the county.

Small silkworm breeding shows "soft" power

According to the staff of the County Bureau of agriculture, planting mulberry and raising silkworm income is relatively high among all cash crops, but it is "wasting people" physical labor, which has become one of the "short boards" for expanding seed production and increasing income.

Moreover, the effect of increasing production only by expanding seeds is very limited. The development of mulberry industry can not rely on the "hard" approach, so it can only be upgraded by "soft".

It is understood that in addition to strengthening training, raising the level of breeding technology, vigorously promoting sericulture

Recently, the reporter came to the county.

In addition, after popularizing the technology of small silkworm breeding, the number of silkworms that the silkworm farmers get at a price of one silkworm is 1.5 times that of the original.

It is understood that there are 298 small silkworm breeding rooms in the county, and 650 thousand small silkworms can be reproduced throughout the year, accounting for more than 90% of the total silkworm rearing in the whole county.

The role of "pushing hands" in silkworm processing enterprises {page_break}

As we all know, the smooth production and marketing is an important condition for promoting the development of production. As a primary agricultural product, silkworm cocoons also need to comply with the market regulation. Only by ensuring the smooth sales of cocoons produced can we boost the development of aquaculture.

As a result, Xiangzhou County actively introduced cocoon processing enterprises is particularly important.

Guangxi

"From cocoon cultivation to processing and production, all links in this line are interlinked."

Zhang Shulin said that this is actually a win-win mode.

Cocoon prices rise, silkworm farmers eager to sell, the market supply is adequate.

Since this year, they have collected more than 300 tons of dry cocoons, and 0.38 tons of dried cocoons can be calculated by baking a ton of fresh cocoons. Up to now, only one company consumes nearly 1000 tons of fresh cocoons.

Inventory after purchase is another aspect.

Xiangzhou County, 6 silk processing enterprises currently have 45 sets of production lines, according to each group can produce 90 kilograms of white silk and 3.05 tons of dry cocoons can extract a ton of wire per day, every day the whole county produces white silk consumption of fresh cocoons about 34.3 tons, so that the edge of consumption and consumption of "two pronged", making the acquisition more smoothly, between processing plants and silkworm farmers also formed an interactive "virtuous circle".

It is understood that the level of raw silk produced in Xiangzhou County has increased from 2A below to 4A and 5A level, and some of them have reached 6A level.

However, the current cocoon processing is still in a relatively elementary stage. The added value of white silk is relatively low. Therefore, it is always the focus of the development of silkworm cocoon industry to actively promote the industrialization of silkworm industry -- elongating the silkworm industrial chain, strengthening the production base of silkworm, improving the degree of organization and enhancing the driving ability.

Zhang Shulin finally said that in the second half of this year, he planned to borrow the high price of silkworm cocoon this year to increase the production line to 20 groups.

The county also plans to expand the production line of cocoon processing in the whole county to 60 groups during the "12th Five-Year" period.

Silkworm farmers "keep the clouds open and see the moon".

The rise of sericulture in Xiangzhou County has played a more and more important role in consolidating the leading position of China's cocoon and silk industry in the world and promoting the increase of farmers' income and the development of county economy.

"Last year, our town only silkworm breeding one, the output value reached one hundred million yuan.

It was hard to imagine a few years ago. "

Tan Qingfu, director of Agricultural Technology Extension Station in central Ping County, told reporters.

The rise and fall of Sang Sang silkworm, Wu Yongmao, a village in the village of sankou village in temple village, has a deep understanding.

Wu Yongmao has more than 20 years' experience in raising silkworms, and now he has planted nearly eight mu of mulberry fields with his wife.

He said that over the years, there were times when he wanted to give up, but he persisted, because he insisted that he should keep the clouds and see the moon.

Wu Yongmao told reporters that in fact, in 2008, the area of his species mulberry has reached 6 mu.

In those days, under the influence of the global financial crisis, the cocoon price dropped sharply, the lowest price was only 7 yuan / kg, and even the books could not be recovered.

But he persevered because he had experienced several ups and downs of the price of silkworms for more than ten years, and experience told him that the low price of the price would not last for too long. Once it was changed to another species, it would take one year to restore the vitality if we wanted to grow mulberry trees again.

After weighing the pros and cons, he adopted a conservative approach to deal with the original mulberry planting area unchanged, reducing investment and reducing the amount of silkworm rearing.

The County Bureau of agriculture data show that from the trough of 2008 to the rebound in 2009, nearly a year later, most of the county's Silkworm farmers and Wu Yongmao chose to stick together.

It is understood that in 2009, the county took measures to carry out a lot of publicity and launching work. Meanwhile, the Agriculture Bureau, the Poverty Alleviation Office and the science and Technology Bureau and other departments promptly pferred back mulberry seedlings to sericultural farmers for free, so that the mulberry area of the county remained at 217 thousand mu, an increase of 1 thousand mu compared with 2008.

According to introducing, Wu Yongmao silkworm 12 last year, because his family mulberry leaves, so each silkworm has 50 kilograms of cocoon production, according to last year's average 32 yuan / kg cocoon price to calculate, only sericulture annual income of nearly twenty thousand yuan.

Wu Yongmao said that it is not artificial, of which 70% is net income.

Like Wu, there are a lot of silkworm farmers who have good harvest.

A good harvest has been achieved. This year, Wu Yongmao has planted two mu of mulberry fields.

The average purchasing price of cocoons is 44-45 yuan / kg, which is 8 yuan / kg higher than the highest price of last year.

He said that this year's situation is good, silkworm quantity should be able to reach more than 15, and it is not difficult to win annual income of 30 thousand yuan.
