Chongqing Vigorously Implements Comprehensive Development Of Cocoon Industry And Benefits From Sericulture Farmers

Since the global financial crisis in 2008, the export of domestic cocoon and silk industry has dropped sharply, the ten largest cocoon in the country.

Chongqing, one of the producing areas, was also greatly impacted. The number of silk enterprises decreased sharply, and the development of sericulture industry was obstructed.

However, a local silk enterprise has not only realized its sustainable development but also helped increase the income of silkworm farmers by improving the quality of products and developing new channels for cocoons.

In September 18th, the reporter came to this enterprise Chongqing Hong Mei Da group.

Wang Xiaohui, chairman of the group, presented the new high-grade silk fabrics developed by the company to reporters.

"This fabric feels very similar to wool fabric, thick and warm, but it is a satin fabric."

Wang Xiaohui said that with high quality products, Hong Mei Da was awarded the "high-grade silk fabric" logo by the domestic industry association. It is also the only enterprise that has won the honor in Chongqing.

As an export-oriented enterprise, Hong Mei Da, through innovation and research and development, has improved its technology level. In the case of poor foreign trade and declining orders in Europe and America, it is still in India.

Big powers occupy more than 5% of the market share and remain profitable.

But this did not stop Wang Xiaohui. She said: "limited by the international economic situation, the development of silk production is difficult to open up. We must carry out comprehensive development with mulberry, silkworm and cocoon as the core, and get higher added value."

Wang Xiaohui disclosed that the company has developed several kinds of new products, including mulberry leaf tea, mulberry leaf noodles, mulberry wine and amino acid nutritious food extracted from cocoons, and realized a sales income of about 29000000 yuan, and enterprises are more confident to drive the development of sericulture in districts and counties.

In 2008, Wulong's Silkworm planting area dropped from 40 thousand acres to 15 thousand acres.

Hong Mei Da tied up the municipal departments and the Wulong county government to help sericulture farmers develop sericulture industry in Wulong.

Hong Mei Da introduced high quality silkworm eggs in all locality, implemented high-efficiency and high-yield silkworm utensils, and set up a technical service system with silk company as the main body, township cocoon station, village sericulture worker, small silkworm breeding family and professional large family as the network.

After several years' efforts, by the end of 2011, the income of Wulong's Silkworm farmers sold cocoons reached 4000 yuan, an increase of 236% over that of 3 years ago.

The area of silkworm mulberry has also been restored to more than 40 thousand mu.

At present, Hong MEDA has invested millions of yuan each year to subsidize local sericulture.

At present, Hong Mei DA has done similar practices in Fuling, Nanchuan and Liangliang county to help local people.

Increase income.
