Early summer and May are the seasons when twigs stretch and mulberry leaves dance. Entering Shitang Village in Guanyin Township, mulberry trees all over the mountains and plains “dye” the hillside green, and you can smell the unique fragrance of mulberry leaves in the breeze. In recent years, Shitang Village has taken advantage of the local superior geographical conditions and mild climate to develop an ecological industry development route of planting mulberry and raising sericulture, allowing more villagers to achieve wealth by raising sericulture at their doorstep, nearbyEmployment and starting a business nearby have effectively promoted rural revitalization and development.
In the mulberry field, Gongcheng Qimao Silkworm Professional Breeding Cooperative is responsible Feng Weili was busy among the mulberry trees. He was seen holding the branches of the mulberry trees with one hand and flying left and right with the other hand to pick the fresh mulberry leaves. After the mulberry leaves were cooled, he could feed them. In 2018, Feng Weili set up a professional silkworm breeding cooperative. In the past five years, with the guidance and help of the government, it has developed into more than 100 acres of mulberry fields, with about 360,000 silkworms, and an annual output value of more than 300,000 yuan. It is effectively raising silkworms. The silkworm industry has tasted the benefits.
In addition to selling silk, Feng Weili also breeds silkworm seeds for sale, so The scale of the cooperative has gradually expanded, requiring more and more labor. The idle villagers in the village have part-time jobs picking mulberry leaves and feeding silkworms. While helping in the cooperative, they also learned new skills in growing mulberry and raising silkworms, and started small-scale breeding at home.
Villager Zhou Shengfeng is one of them. He and his wife have exceeded Aged 60, he went out to work in the construction industry in his early years. As he grew older, the heavy physical work gradually became too much for his body. After fully understanding the sericulture technology, the couple worked together to start growing mulberry and raising sericulture at home. Now they are raising mulberry every year. With 10 silkworms, the annual output value is about more than 200,000 yuan. The stable and considerable income allows the son and daughter-in-law who went to work in Guangdong in previous years to come back home to help grow mulberry and raise silkworms. In addition to raising silkworms, they also planted nearly 20 acres of Luo Han Guo and lived a happy life.
