Silkworm Farmers In Xiuzhou, Jiaxing, Continue To Reduce The Volume Of Spring Silkworm Eggs.

Jiaxing Xiuzhou District 2015 spring silkworm contract seed work recently concluded, the region contract order 2015 spring silkworm species 17414.5, compared to the same period reduced 2730.25 pieces, reduced 13.55%, the reduction year by year has increased (last year the same period reduces 6.6%), compared to the same period last year to raise silkworm 21033, reduced 3618.5 pieces, reduced 17.2%, Xincheng town contract number reached 8800, compared to last year only reduced 600, only reduced 6.38%.

It is reported that Tongxiang, Haining and other places, the number of species dropped more than 10%, sea salt fell more than 15%.

In 2015, the main reason for the reduction of Xiuzhou silkworm contract order was:

The first is the area factor.

Since the last spring silkworm production, the number of mulberry gardens has been reduced, and other capital construction sites have been reduced because of the construction of the logistics park of Wang Dian Town, the construction of Xiuzhou New District in Xincheng Town, the torch village of the key sericulture village, and the silkworm farmers' digging of mulberry fields, and other basic construction sites. The whole area has been reduced by more than 1200 mu in less than 1 years from the end of last spring silkworm to the present.

The two is the cocoon price factor.

Last year

The road is low, because last spring cocoon and summer cocoon price is lower, the spring cocoon is only 1714 yuan (50 kilograms), which is 368 yuan lower than that of last year's 2082 yuan (50 kilograms) in the same period last year. The price of summer cocoon is 17.67% yuan, and the summer cocoon price is 1426 yuan per load (50 kilograms).

The price of mid autumn silkworms is 1322 yuan per kilogram (50 kilograms), down 385 yuan (50 kilograms) per year, down 22.56%.

The price of late autumn cocoons was 1562 yuan per kg (50 kg), which decreased by 280 yuan (50 kg) and decreased by 15.2%. The price of spring cocoon, summer cocoon and autumn cocoon decreased significantly, which affected the enthusiasm of Xiuzhou's extensive sericulture farmers to breed silkworms.

This is one of the main reasons for the obvious decline of Xiuzhou silkworm contract orders this spring.

The three is labor factor.

It is a labor-intensive industry. Because the traditional sericulture production is "bitter, dirty and tired", most young people in the countryside do not want to engage in sericulture work, and do not want to learn mulberry silkworm breeding technology. The sericulture farmers who are engaged in sericulture production are aging gradually.

The most obvious example is the 13 group of national villages in Wang Dian Town, our district, which is a key group for silkworm rearing. In recent years, the silkworm breeding has been decreasing due to the aging of silkworm farmers in recent years. Therefore, the labor problem has also become an important factor restricting the development of sericulture production.

Four is the external silkworm eggs.

Owing to the restructuring of field silkworm farms, competition between silkworm production units has intensified, resulting in a large increase in silkworm traffickers.

In spite of the regulations on the management of silkworm eggs, we tried every possible means to sell the silkworm eggs to our area through improper channels, which affected the normal supply of silkworm eggs in our area.

The five is the gradual aging of mulberry garden.

More than ten years ago, in conjunction with large-scale land consolidation, a large number of modern sericulture parks that could fill and drain were built in our district, which played a great role in stabilizing sericulture production.

However, in recent years, the number of mulberry mulberry Mulberry Varieties in the old silkworm area (including our Xiuzhou area) has been significantly reduced, and the new mulberry gardens are few.

The six is the cost factor.

Cost factors mainly include two aspects, on the one hand, the cost of agricultural materials. According to the preliminary investigation, the cost of mulberry mulberry sericulture is mainly the silkworm medicine with chemical fertilizer, pesticide and disinfection and disease prevention, its price is basically stable, and the labor cost is rising year by year. At present, a male laborer is working for about 80~110 yuan a day, and the female labor work is about 60~90 yuan a day.
