Hai’an City has a long history of sericulture production. It is one of the six major sericulture counties (cities) in Jiangsu Province. It is nationally famous as the “Hometown of Cocoon and Silk” and “Hometown of Lake Mulberry”. It was rated as “China’s Quality” by the China Silk Association. “Silkworm Cocoon Base”, sericulture production ranks first in Jiangsu, and the comprehensive competitiveness of Xinyuan Cocoon Silk Group Co., Ltd. located in Haian City ranks among the top in the national silk industry. In recent years, Hai’an City has used sericulture technological innovation as the driving force and industrial structure adjustment as the starting point to implement the development model of sericulture farms of “building a farm, organizing a cooperative, and connecting farmers”, and has become a model for moderately large-scale sericulture operations across the country. The 2021 on-site promotion meeting for the high-quality development of the sericulture industry in Jiangsu Province was held in Hai’an. The entire sericulture industry chain created by Haian was evaluated by participating experts as “leading and innovative, and many experiences and practices are worthy of learning from all places.”
“Currently, Hai’an City has 66,000 acres of mulberry gardens, 140,000 seeds are produced annually, and 8,500 tons of silkworm cocoons are produced. Hai’an has established 229 sericulture family farms and 169 sericulture complexes Farm. The annual sales revenue of the cocoon and silk industry exceeds 10 billion yuan, and the cocoon income of silkworm farmers is nearly 300 million yuan.” Huang Junming, director and researcher of Hai’an Sericulture Technology Promotion Station, said, “Hai’an issued the “Opinions on Cultivating and Developing Sericulture Family Farms” A series of incentives for the development of sericulture production, including financial subsidies for the purchase of cocoons at protected prices, the promotion of planting herbaceous mulberries and labor-saving sericulture technology, and the protection and utilization of silkworm germplasm resources, have effectively promoted the transformation, upgrading and integrated development of the sericulture industry.”
In the intelligent silkworm room of Jiangsu Canyuan Seed Industry Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Silkworm Seed Industry”), there are rows of drawer-type mobile silkworm tables, with chubby “silkworm babies” lying on each round On the bamboo frame, the energy accumulated for a month was gradually transformed into crystal clear silk threads. These silk threads wrap the “silkworm babies” into white silkworm cocoons, and workers are cleaning the remaining mulberry leaves and silkworm excrement for the “silkworm babies” who are spinning silk to form cocoons.
In order to speed up the transformation and upgrading of Hai’an City’s sericulture industry and promote the high-quality development of Hai’an City’s sericulture industry, Silkworm Seed Industry has introduced modern technologies such as intelligent sericulture machines, far-infrared male and female identification machines, and large-space temperature and humidity control systems. High-efficiency advanced sericulture equipment makes the silkworm breeding process intelligent and refined, and uses “hard-core” new machinery to empower the traditional sericulture industry to “break out of the cocoon and be reborn.” In the future, Silkworm Seed Industry will introduce 4-5 more sets of intelligent equipment for the sericulture industry, increasing the number of seeds issued from 100,000 to nearly 500,000, further expanding Daian City’s share of the domestic sericulture market.
Protect more than 40 mulberry variety resources, more than 20 designated silkworm germplasm resources in Jiangsu Province, and more than 30 material silkworm varieties… Silkworm Source Seed Industry is responsible for the protection of silkworm germplasm resources, silkworm seed production, Silkworm seed refrigeration, scientific research experiments, silkworm breed selection and conservation and other tasks. Silkworm Seed Industry has a large-scale silkworm breeding farm that integrates mother seeds, original seeds, original seeds, first-generation hybrids, scientific research, and cold storage. In the more than two years since its establishment, the silkworm breeding farm has successively won the title of Jiangsu Province’s Advantage and Characteristic Seed Center , Jiangsu Province Silkworm Genetic Resources Conservation Farm, Jiangsu Province Silkworm Performance Measurement Implementation Unit, Jiangsu Province Advanced Unit for Silkworm Seed Production and other honors.
