Feng Bingting, vice chairman of the Huangshi Municipal People's Congress and vice chairman of the Municipal Association for the promotion of old areas, and vice magistrate Li Zhaoqiang attended the ceremony.

"At this point, the price of cocoons will no longer be counted by them."

Looking at the newly completed workshop, Cai Yonghua, a kind of mulberry silkworm farmer, was delighted.

According to Cai Zhaocheng, Secretary of CAI Xian Cun village, the factory is the first in Huangshi area.

Silkworm breeding in Mulberry Garden

Cai Xian village is located at the foot of the mountain of the tent of 17, with 3100 villagers.

"By the end of 2009, our village's per capita net income was only 1800 yuan, and the annual per capita grain output was 300 kilograms. It is a typical poverty village integrating reservoir areas, mountainous areas and old areas."

Recalling the economic situation in the village two years ago, Cai Zhaocheng appeared "helpless".

Ideas determine the way out.

As early as 2008, there were farmers in 5 villages near Cai Xian village.

In the autumn of 2008, Cai Xian village began to try to raise silkworms.

According to Cai Zhaocheng's recall, a total of 13 villagers participated in the trial, and 9 silkworm eggs (25 thousand silkworm eggs) were produced. As a result, each silkworm produced 43 kg of fresh cocoons.

"In 2009, we raised 63 silkworm eggs in the two seasons of spring and autumn, and the average annual output per silkworm eggs reached 45.5 kg."

Speaking of this, Cai Zhaocheng seems to be full of enthusiasm, "on average.

Establishment of cooperatives

With the gradual expansion of the mulberry base area and the gradual increase of cocoon yield of silkworm eggs, the enthusiasm of farmers has also been mobilized.

According to Zhu Ju, a specialist in sericulture, there are 5 people in her family, and her wife and son work abroad all the year round.

Usually you can only plant a "rations" at home alone.

"Only three seasons of silkworm breeding a year can add up to more than 5000 yuan in three or four months."

Zhu Ju, who had been raising silkworms for more than 4 years, said, "you can do some farm work when you are free."

Now, her family's two or three acres of wasteland have long been covered with mulberry trees.

At the end of 2009, Cai Xiancun's 180 sericulture farmers spontaneously set up a professional cooperative of silkworm industry, which mainly carried out a series of affairs related to mulberry cultivation, silkworm breeding, production material purchase, product (cocoon) sales, processing and technical guidance in the whole village.

Two years after the operation of the cooperative, the problem of silkworm breeding and silkworm breeding has been obviously reduced, but the income has been "stalled".

"Our cocoons are bought by the bosses of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, but the price is generally lower than the market price to two yuan."

Cai Yonghua, a mulberry silkworm breeding farmer, is "full of grievances". "Good cocoons, high and low prices are all up to them."

He said that the purchase price of cocoons in the spring of the previous year was 16 yuan per catty, and the purchase price of spring silkworm fell to 12 yuan per catty this year.

In August of this year, 500 thousand yuan was invested and more than 20 workers were absorbed. Cai Xiansi, who was held by villagers' committee and villagers, became a factory worker.

Cai Zhaocheng gave the reporter an account: the cotton silk with a specification of 1 jin was needed for 10 jin cocoons, and 1 yuan catties for 12 yuan. The price of 10 kg cocoons was 120 yuan, and the 10 kg of cocoons were processed into cotton quilt, and the highest price could be sold to 330 yuan per bed.

Cai Zhaocheng introduced a cotton quilt mainly through seven processes, namely cotton beating, barrel making, rinsing, dehydration, drying, quilting and packaging.

"Remove machine depreciation, electricity, labor costs, finished product packaging fees, processing a cotton silk can be pure earn more than 100 yuan.

The silkworm pillow made of silkworm sand (silkworm excrement) can earn thirty or forty yuan each. "

Domestic sales

According to Cai Zhaocheng, the production of cotton silk quilt and silkworm pillow are mainly sold to Huangshi, Daye and Yangxin, and are sold with the advantage of the scenic spot of Xian Dao lake.

"30 thousand pounds of cocoons sold this year have been sold, leaving only more than 1000 kilograms of cocoons, which can be processed into more than 100 beds and a jin of cotton quilt."

Cai Zhaocheng said that next year's cocoons will be processed entirely by silk, and the total income of cocoons and cotton silk will be up to 8. 9 million.

"This is much stronger than last year. Last year, the total income was only about 200000 yuan."

Cai Zhao Cheng said.

For the current silkworm breeding mode of CAI Xian village, Cai Kejin, mayor of Wang Ying Town, said that the development mode of "cooperative + processing factory + base + peasant household" was built on the basis of the professional cooperation of silkworm industry, the market as the guide and the base as the carrier. It also insisted on cultivating large family of mulberry and large silkworms, promoting the whole village with demonstration points and promoting the construction of a complete silkworm industrial chain, forming a new pattern of the integration of regionalization, specialization and processing (drying) of silkworm production.

In response to the relevant support policies, Cai Kejin said that it mainly tilted on project funds and benefiting agriculture funds, and provided the corresponding amount of interest free loans.

At the beginning of the establishment of cooperatives, in order to ensure the enthusiasm of farmers, the government subsidized the price difference of cocoon purchase price.

"Basically guarantee that every catty of cocoons can be sold to 13 yuan."

Cai Kejin said.
