Rugao'S Autumn Cocoon Purchase Price Hit A New Low In Recent Years In 2014.

It is one of the main producing areas of Jiangsu's silk industry, and it is the key cocoon production base of the whole province.

This year, the mid autumn cocoon purchase in Rugao was officially launched in October 5th, and the basic purchase has ended.

But let the silkworm farmers be disappointed that Rugao's autumn cocoon purchase price is the lowest in recent years.

It is understood that in 2014, Rugao put into operation 84 thousand and 900 mu of mulberry garden, which was basically flat compared with last year. There were more than 7.8 pieces of autumn silkworm hair (58 thousand Mid Autumn Festival and 20 thousand late autumn), compared with last year's autumn, 71 thousand pieces of silkworm hair increased by 7 thousand, with an increase of 9.86%. The average yield per cocoon was 70 kg left and right, which was basically the same as that of the same period last year, and decreased by 17.6% compared with that of spring cocoons.

according to

Analysis shows that the main reasons for the fall of cocoon output this year are the following:

The cocoon quality is reduced by climate.

This summer and autumn to the mid autumn silkworm season, two months of rainy weather, mulberry leaves less light, humidity, organic matter accumulation decreased, resulting in poor quality; part of mulberry fields flooded, so that the autumn silkworm mulberry volume is insufficient, silkworm age is shortened, so that the autumn cocoon small skin is thin, relieve general, affecting the cocoon yield and quality.

Some of the autumn silkworms were heavier and the yield declined.

According to the investigation, due to the heavy rainy weather this year, the indoor humidity of the silkworm chamber is large. Some silkworm farmers have not experienced enough breeding, silkworm and silkworm disinfection is not completely eliminated, silkworm excrement is not cleared up in time, remedial measures such as treatment, disinfection, isolation and so on can not keep up with the onset of the disease. Large scale seizures of silkworm disease and serious reduction of cocoon production have resulted in a reduction in yield of some silkworm farmers by more than 80%.
