In Seshuba Community, Mengding Town, Gengma Dai and Wa Autonomous County, Lincang City, Yunnan Province, farmers are busy harvesting white silkworm cocoons as big as pigeon eggs.
The party branch takes the lead in “taking the true scriptures” and finding a new way of development
At the beginning of this year, the Seshuba community heard that someone in Hepai Township was engaged in mulberry silkworm breeding and the profits were good, so they came up with the idea of silkworm breeding. Zi Jianhua, Secretary of the Party Branch of Seshuba Community, quickly discussed with the cadres of the two village committees and the village work team, and held a villagers meeting within the village group, and organized more than 50 farmers to conduct field inspections at the silkworm breeding base in Hepai Township. , conducted in-depth exchanges and studies with local farmers face-to-face on aspects such as breeding precautions and income effects. After the inspection, in order to secure the start-up funds for the project, the Party branch of Seshuba Community and the village working team obtained RMB 100,000 from Yunnan Vocational College of Finance and Economics for a rural revitalization designated assistance sericulture project fund, which was used for early mulberry tree planting, sericulture, and sericulture. Housing construction, etc. Gengma Jinshun Agricultural Science and Technology Development Co., Ltd. was introduced to cooperate to provide farmers with silkworm seeds and breeding technology, and was responsible for recycling silkworm cocoons, which solved the problems of project start-up funds and production and marketing.
Party members took the lead in “eating crabs”, and the masses’ doubts were eliminated
“My family background I have been growing corn for generations. Can I do well if I suddenly switch to sericulture?” This was the doubt in the minds of most villagers after returning from the inspection. Seeing that everyone was still watching, party member Chen Pingan stood up and said: “I’ll give it a try. , after on-the-spot investigation, I believe that our community is suitable for silkworm breeding.” Then a standard mulberry garden base of 30 acres was built. In just 23 days, the demonstration household produced a total of 226.1 kilograms of silkworm cocoons from four silkworm seeds, which were sold for 11,078.9 yuan, and the first batch of silkworm cocoons was harvested. This time, the silkworm breeding industry broke the traditional “agricultural materials company + farmer” development model and initially formed a “party branch + company + base + cooperative + farmer” development model. With the success of demonstration planting and breeding, there are currently 50 households. Farmers are willing to plant and breed mulberries and are booking mulberry seedlings with companies.
The organization leads the “new youth” and injects new vitality into the industry
Next color Shuba Community will encourage talents with skills and resources to return to their hometowns, focus on training young people in the village who want to be able to do things to become technical backbones, and further guide the development and expansion of silkworm breeding. It is expected that by 2023, the cooperative will have 50 members, build 50 new silkworm houses, plant more than 1,000 acres of mulberry tree base, and build a small silkworm breeding base of 1,000 square meters. From the second year on, each farmer will be able to achieve an annual income increase of 17,000 yuan. Seshuba Community will continue to play the leading role of grassroots party organizations and build a standardized and scientific sericulture demonstration base. Using demonstration as a guide, it will drive the entire community to develop the sericulture industry and continuously strengthen the village collective economy. </p
