The first batch of spring cocoons in Gao County achieved a bumper harvest, producing 2.538 million kilograms of cocoons
The spring silkworms have just begun to form cocoons, which is another “plentiful” scene. Right now, it is the peak season for sericulture. In Gao County, Yibin City, Sichuan Province, the first batch of 54,000 spring silkworms has handed over a bumper harvest, with a total of 2.538 million kilograms of cocoons, and silkworm farmers’ income from cocoon payments reached 152 million yuan.
Gao County is the “Hometown of Chinese Sericulture” and “China’s High-Quality Cocoon Silk Production Base”. The county has 235,000 acres of mulberry gardens, ranking first in Sichuan Province in terms of planting area. In recent years, the county has focused on building the entire sericulture industry chain, transforming ecological advantages into economic advantages, giving traditional sericulture new vitality.
Improving quality and efficiency, a mulberry leaf makes the people richer
“I fed 12 silkworms in the first season and sold them for more than 36,000 yuan. I am going to feed two more silkworms in the second season and strive to earn more than 40,000 yuan.” In Guntuo Village, Laifu Town, Gao County, a newly sold silkworm Hu Yongqiang, a major sericulture farmer who has finished cocooning, is busy cleaning and disinfecting the silkworm room in preparation for the arrival of the second season of silkworms.
Gao County is a traditional agricultural county with a long history of sericulture. Almost every household in the countryside grows mulberry and raises sericulture. As traditional agriculture moves towards modern agriculture, the traditional scattered cultivation of mulberry and sericulture is no longer suitable for large-scale and industrial development. How can traditional sericulture change?
In recent years, the county has closely followed the foundation and characteristics of the agricultural industry and introduced a number of supporting policies such as base construction, sericulture awards and subsidies, technical training, and agricultural technology promotion. It has promoted the whole village in areas with sericulture foundation and vigorously built shallow hills. In the Pingba Sericulture Industrial Belt and Sericulture Modern Agricultural Park, the area of mulberry gardens has gradually increased. At the same time, through the cultivation of leading enterprises, the industrialized management model of “leading enterprises + bases + farmers” has been formed, further laying a solid foundation for the industry.
Traditional industriestransformation and upgrading are inseparable from the help of technology. In the modern large-scale silkworm breeding factory in Renmin Village, Jiale Town, Gao County, a series of new technologies and new machines such as orbital lifting silkworm tables, automatic rotating upper cocoon racks, and automatic cocoon picking machines make raising silkworms simple and efficient. The promotion of co-breeding technology of small silkworms has greatly shortened the breeding cycle, and the number of sericulture batches has increased from the traditional 4 batches to 6 batches. The “short, flat and fast” benefit advantages of the sericulture industry have been further highlighted, effectively promoting Increase the income of silkworm farmers.
“In the past, the whole family was busy raising a few silkworms every season. Now with these high technologies, it saves a lot of trouble.” Zhou Song, a big sericulture farmer in Renmin Village, Jiale Town, Gao County, rents a large sericulture machine in the village. The silkworm breeding factory can raise more than 40 silkworms every year, with an annual income of more than 100,000 yuan. “Now not only do agricultural technicians come to provide guidance, but the government also distributes mulberry seedlings and fertilizers to us for free. I am confident that I can raise silkworms well and make life better and better,” Zhou Song said.
As the sericulture industry becomes more and more profitable, villagers welcome “silkworm babies” into their homes one after another. At present, there are 386 silkworm co-breeding rooms and 32 co-breeding factories in the county, and nearly 100,000 rural people are engaged in sericulture production. In 2022, a total of 241,000 seeds were distributed in the county, and 11.175 million kilograms of cocoons were produced. The revenue from cocoon payments to silkworm farmers reached 545 million yuan. Small sericulture has become a “big industry” for increasing wealth and income.
The “Mulberry” has a way of producing high efficiency in the mulberry garden
“Silkworms” spin silk to make money, and the abandoned mulberry branches and the vacant land between the rows of mulberry trees have also been rationally used to produce good benefits.
“Look at the newly grown mushrooms, which are white and tender, and very tasty!” Walking into the mulberry mushroom family farm in Changfeng Village, Jiale Town, Gao County, rows of mulberry mushroom packages are neatly arranged. , the white and tender mushrooms poked their heads out from the mushroom bag, which was very cute.
According to Wang Changquan, the person in charge of the farm, a large number of mulberry branches will be left in the winter management of the mulberry garden every year after sericulture is completed. How to “turn waste into treasure”? Wang Changquan thought of developing mulberry edible fungi, using crushed mulberry branches as the main ingredient, which were scientifically formulated to become fungus bags for growing mushrooms. More than 200 tons of mulberry branches are used every year. In addition to using up all the mulberry branches in his own land, he also He wants to buy it nearby at a price of 200 yuan per ton. The annual cultivation of mushrooms can bring him more than 200,000 yuan in income.
In Nanhongyan Village, Kejiu Town, Gao County, the villagers planted rows of green vegetables in the mulberry garden after winter management was completed. Through intercropping and rotation, the idle land was filled with gold and silver, achieving multiple harvests in one land. .
“We mainly interplant vegetables such as green vegetables, lotus flowers and Chinese cabbage in autumn and winter. While fertilizing the vegetables, the mulberry trees also get nutrients. After the spring begins, the mulberry leaves grow well, and one acre of land can earn about 2,000 yuan more income. .” Luo Shengyun, secretary of the village party branch, said that at present, Nanhongyan Village has developed a “mulberry and vegetable intercropping” area of more than 600 acres. From the initial one person to the whole village, the variety of intercropping has been continuously enriched. , the income of villagers has also become more and more considerable.
In Chenyong Village, Laifu Town, Gao County, the local area has developed 2,250 acres of fruit and leaf mulberry trees based on the original sericulture foundation. Not only can the mulberry leaves be used to raise silkworms, but the mulberries produced are full and sweet, attracting a large number of people every year. Tourists come to pick the fruits, and the villagers work as tour guides and run farmhouses on the spot, and their lives are happy and sweet. Not only that, the village has also introduced a mulberry processing factory to process fresh mulberry fruits into dried mulberries and mulberry wine in a timely manner, which are sold throughout the country, further broadening the villagers’ income-increasing paths.
Full-chain development of traditional sericulture out of “�Silk Road”
In recent years, the sericulture industry across the country has been booming. How to highlight its advantages in the competition? The answer given by Gaoxian County is to drive the development of the base with leading enterprises, focus on “sericulture +”, build a whole sericulture industry chain through the integrated development of primary, secondary and tertiary industries, and promote the development of sericulture industry QualityDevelopment.
Walking into the production workshop of Sichuan New Silk Road CocoonSilk Co., Ltd. in Qingfu Town, Gao County, the automatic reeling machine is running at full capacity to process silkworm cocoons into high-quality cocoon silk. As a leading enterprise leading modern sericulture in Gaoxian County, this enterprise processes more than 3,000 tons of raw silkworm cocoons annually and produces more than 600 tons of raw silk above 5A level. At present, an intelligent silkworm seed manufacturing and greening workshop, an intelligent silk reeling production line, a cocoon silk testing center and supporting sewage treatment have been built. font>Facilities, etc., are focusing on accelerating the construction of a new industrial system integrating “mulberry, silkworm, seed, cocoon, silk, and silk”. The products are not only popular domestically, but also exported In Southeast Asia, it has led the cocoon and silk industry in Gaoxian County to a new height.
Not only that, the county is also actively expanding the application fields of mulberry and silkworms, increasing the development of sericulture derivative products, focusing on sericulture food, mulberry tea beverages, silk protein cosmetics and other products to further improve the comprehensive benefits of sericulture.
In Renmin Village, Jiale Town, Gao County, relying on the sericulture industry, the local area has not only built the “Tiancan Lake” scenic spot, a sericulture folk culture hotel, but also a sericulture cultural square, a sericulture research base, and various cultural and cultural activities based on sericulture. There is a dazzling array of innovative products, and delicacies made from various mulberry leaves in the farmhouse are served on the dining table. The sericulture industry is transforming from traditional sericulture and selling cocoons to the integration of agriculture and tourism.
Mulberry and silkworm rearing, silkworm cocooning, cocoon spinning, waste mulberry branches growing mushrooms, sericulture culture drives the development of rural tourism… From a leaf to a silk to the entire industrial chain, the sericulture industry in Gaoxian County is moving towards ” The new pattern of “one-stop production, processing and marketing, integration of agriculture, industry and trade” continues to develop and grow. Small treasures of silkworms and vast mulberry fields are injecting strong momentum into rural revitalization and high-quality development of the county economy.
