The wind blows the mulberry trees green, and it’s the sericulture season again. Recently, silkworm seed distribution points such as Tuantian Town, Yayi Town, and Lianzhu Town in Mojiang Hani Autonomous County, Pu’er City, Yunnan Province have been bustling with activity. Silkworm assistants are carefully counting the quantities and distributing spring silkworm seeds to silkworm farmers. The prelude to spring sericulture production in the county.
It is reported that the distributed silkworm seeds will directly enter the small silkworm co-breeding rooms in various towns and villages, where they will be hatched and raised to the third age, and then distributed to silkworm farmers for feeding. At the same time, during the subsequent breeding period, technicians will provide one-on-one technical guidance to silkworm farmers to ensure the quality of spring silkworms and improve the efficiency of silkworm farmers.
It is understood that the mulberry orchard planting area in Mojiang County reaches more than 4,300 acres, and a total of 1,037 spring silkworm seeds were distributed this year, an increase of 18.2% year-on-year. Based on last year’s output, it is expected that more than 40 tons of spring cocoons will be produced in mid-to-late May this year, and the income of silkworm farmers can reach more than 2 million yuan.
“Last year, my family raised 4 spring silkworms, earning an income of more than 10,000 yuan. This year, I raised 8 spring silkworms. Under normal breeding conditions, each silkworm seed can harvest more than 45 kilograms of cocoons. According to last year’s price estimate, This year’s spring cocoon income is expected to exceed 20,000 yuan,” said Yang Wenliang, a silkworm farmer in Xiangbi Village, Lianzhu Town.
It is reported that the sericulture industry in Mojiang County adopts the development model of “company + base + farmers + village collective economy”. The company not only provides technical support in sericulture, but also ensures the market for the sericulture farmers, which is a benefit to the sericulture farmers. “Reassurance Pill”. At the same time, a “double-tie” interest linkage mechanism has been established. For every kilogram of silkworm cocoons purchased by the company, it will give 0.3 yuan to the village committee as the village’s collective economic income, which will be used to feed silkworm farmers to support the development of the sericulture industry and inject “new impetus” into the industry.
