Yongxin: Technology empowers and adds vitality to the sericulture industry
Yongxin County is the second largest mulberry-growing and sericulture county in Jiangxi Province. Large-scale sericulture has a history of more than 50 years. With the development of the times, the traditional mulberry-growing and sericulture model has gradually fallen behind. Seeking breakthroughs, Yongxin County established the “Sericulture and Enriching People Industry Academician Workstation.” The sericulture industry has ushered in a magnificent transformation, with the industrial chain extended and the added value of products greatly increased. More and more farmers have become rich and increased their incomes by relying on mulberry and silkworm rearing.
In the sericulture base of Shuangjiang Village, Litian Town, Yongxin County, there is a scene full of vitality. The continuous mulberry trees are lush and growing happily. The mulberry farmers are busy picking fresh mulberry leaves and feeding the thriving young silkworms. Soon these silkworms will be turned into cocoons for sale. “This year I raised 50 silkworms myself, 85 silkworms for others, and 5 feed silkworms for experiments, a total of 140 silkworms,” said Yin Xiaowen, a major mulberry and silkworm farmer in Shuangjiang Village, Litian Town.
In the past, sericulture farmers in Yongxin County used traditional mulberry leaf sericulture, which not only had strict requirements on the growth environment, but also had high requirements on food. In case of windy and rainy weather, the sericulture farmers had to go out in time to pick mulberry leaves. leaf. However, now in the silkworm room of the sericulture base in Shuangjiang Village, Litian Town, the “food” that silkworms eat is not only mulberry leaves, but also mulberry leaf powder and other nutrients that are scientifically formulated into granular and cake-shaped feeds. “Now I can raise more than 100 silkworms a year by myself by myself. If I raise silkworms with mulberry leaves, I can only raise a few dozen. Feeding silkworms can also avoid weather effects and save labor.” Yin Xiaowen said. Face said proudly.
In 2019, with the help of the “Sericulture and Enriching the People Industry Academician Workstation” and the Jiangxi Province Yongxin County Sericulture Science and Technology Mission, Yongxin County established a co-breeding room for small silkworms, expanded the scale of mulberry planting, and large households helped retail households raise small silkworms. Silkworms reduce the risks of mulberry farmers. Nowadays, feed silkworms are also raised, and the industrial chain of mulberry planting and silkworm rearing has also been extended. “We mainly provide technical guidance and services in terms of technical services, technology promotion, introduction of fine varieties, mulberry plantation pest control, silkworm pest control, etc., and provide training for sericulture farmers to help extend the sericulture industry chain in Yongxin County and increase The added value of the product can increase the income of the people and make them rich.” Zheng Shuyun, a member of the Jiangxi Yongxin County Sericulture Science and Technology Mission, told reporters.
Today, with the help of modern technology, Yongxin County’s mulberry farming industry has achieved a gorgeous transformation. It has not only developed a series of products such as mulberry leaf tea, mulberry leaf noodles, and mulberry wine, but also developed rural tourism with the theme of sericulture. By building a full sericulture industry chain, the scale of mulberry gardens in Yongxin County has reached 42,000 acres, the total output value of sericulture has exceeded 100 million yuan, and the per capita income of sericulture farmers has increased by more than 5,000 yuan.
