Late Autumn Cocoons Of Some Districts And Counties In Chongqing Began To Buy.

Late autumn cocoon

The purchase amount of fresh cocoon increased significantly compared with the late autumn of last year. The average purchasing price of the cocoon in the late autumn of Dianjiang county was about 1175 yuan per day. After a 2 day mass purchase, the purchase of 72000 kg of cocoon was completed in late autumn, and the purchase price and purchase volume increased significantly over the same quarter last year. The increase was over 10%. The average purchase price of the late autumn cocoon opening scale was 1050 yuan / Dan, and the later acquisition work was gradually developing.

It is also understood that due to the abnormal weather and climate conditions during late autumn silkworm breeding and upland in Chongqing, the high and low temperatures before, before and after rainfall, and humid weather caused great difficulties in raising silkworms in late autumn. A considerable proportion of them were seriously affected by lack of water, rain and drought in the autumn season. The mulberry garden had not yet been effectively restored, resulting in a decline in mulberry leaf yield in late autumn, a decrease in yield of mulberry mulberry leaves, and a shortage of silkworm leaves in late autumn.

There are a considerable number of sub districts where there are late autumn silkworms, which are abandoned because of insufficient supply of mulberry leaves.

At the same time, the low temperature and humid climate environment caused mulberry leaves to germinate and grow longer, and the contents of nutrients in mulberry leaves were reduced, which did not satisfy the late autumn silkworm satiation and mulberry eating. The silkworm cocoon production and silkworm cocoon quality were affected by the serious development of silkworm cocoons in late autumn. The overall quality of cocoon purchasing was not optimistic.

Subsequently, Fuling, Yubei, Banan, Zhongxian and other counties in Yuxi area and the Three Gorges Reservoir area will also start the purchase of cocoons in late autumn.
