At present, tussah silkworms have begun to make cocoons on a large scale. It is a critical period for the tussah silkworm industry to produce a bumper harvest. More than 5,000 silkworm farmers in Arong Banner are ushering in the harvest season. This year, Arong Banner has stocked 1.32 billion tussahs, and the comprehensive output value of sericulture is expected to reach 230 million yuan.
Arong Banner is located in the southeast of the Daxingan Mountains. It has gentle hills, numerous rivers, and dense and green oak trees on the mountains. It has unique resource advantages and is the best place for raising tussah silkworms. Tussah silkworms are economic insects in a semi-wild state and are natural, green, and organic. Tussah silkworms are full of treasures and have both edible and health-care value. They can also provide raw materials for silk processing, and their added value is much higher than agricultural production.
At present, Arong Banner is the largest tussah production base, tussah improved seed breeding base and largest silkworm cocoon distribution center in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The tussah silkworm yield and the income of silkworm farmers rank first in the country. The development of sericulture not only protects the ecological environment, but also promotes economic development. It is one of the important industries in Arong Banner to “enrich the people and strengthen the banner”. It is understood that Arong Banner currently has an area of 600,000 acres of tussah forest suitable for sericulture, and has developed silkworm farms of 470,000 acres. It is the largest “two-in-one-one” project in Northeast China (using artificial low-temperature control to achieve the purpose of raising tussah silkworms once. , known as “two modernization and one release.”) Tussah silkworm seed industry base, with an annual output of 100,000 kilograms of “two modernization and one release” tussah seeds; it is the largest tussah cocoon distribution center in Northeast China, with annual production of tussah cocoons from Liaoning Province, Jilin Province and Heilongjiang Province Forty or fifty merchants from other places flocked here to buy about 90% of Arong Banner’s commercial cocoons; it is also the largest commercial cocoon base, with more than 4,000 stockings and more than 5,000 households. In 2021, there will be 4,016 silkworms and 5,018 sericulture households in the entire banner. The output of commercial cocoons will reach more than 6 million kilograms. The output value of sericulture will reach 230 million yuan, which will increase the per capita income of farmers across the banner by nearly 1,100 yuan. It has become a “powerful tool” to help farmers increase their income and become rich. Shortage and Fast” project.
On the premise of protecting the ecological environment, Arong Banner scientifically utilizes tussah forest resources and conducts reasonable planning and layout for tussah silkworm production. In 2006, the “Arong Banner Sericulture Management Measures” was promulgated; in 2008, the “Arong Banner’s Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the Development of Enriching Industries to Ensure Stable and Rapid Growth of Farmers’ Income” listed tussah as an industry that enriches the people; in 2018, the “Arong Banner Sericulture Management Measures” was revised and improved. Establish and improve sericulture management regulations and administrative mechanisms, give full play to the advantages of Arong Banner’s sericulture resources, technical services, etc., and form a characteristic industry that prospers the urban and rural economy and promotes the construction of new rural areas.
From tussah silkworm breeding to silk products, there are many fields, a long industrial chain, and the breadth and depth of development. Silkworms and silk production have agricultural, industrial and commercial links. To develop and expand the silkworm industry, industrialization is the only way to go. The economic benefits obtained from cocoon silk processing are much higher than those from silkworm rearing. Arong Banner scientifically plans and builds silkworm farms to ensure that “forests are suitable for forests and silkworms are suitable for silkworms”, comprehensively build ecological silkworm farms, increase the capacity of silkworm farms, and unswervingly implement the premise of protecting the ecology and building the ecology. Develop and utilize scientifically and rationally. At the same time, relying on specific measures such as policy support, project promotion, scientific and technological support, and services to assist farmers, we will strengthen the introduction and promotion of advanced technologies, new varieties, and scientific and technological achievements, strengthen the breeding of improved tussah silkworm varieties, germplasm testing, quarantine, and pest and disease forecasting, prevention, and transformation of resources. The advantage is economic benefits, gradually establishing and implementing deep processing, extending the industrial chain, and vigorously promoting industrialized operations.
