The rise of silk dream-weaving industry—A side note on the development of silkworm industry in Xincheng County

In the green mulberry field, villagers are picking mulberry leaves in twos and threes; in the silkworm co-breeding base, villagers are orderly collecting four-instar silkworms and taking them home to raise… In the past few days, the author has walked into Xincheng to learn about mulberry leaves. The development of the silkworm industry and busy scenes constitute a new picture of rural revitalization. Xincheng County is a major sericulture county in Guangxi and the country. The sericulture industry is the most important pillar industry in the county. It is known as “Top Ten Counties for the Development of Silkworms in Guangxi”, “Hometown of Silkworms” and “China’s High-Quality Silk Production Base”. . In recent years, the county has fully seized the favorable opportunity of the country’s “east-to-west migration of mulberry trees” to vigorously develop the sericulture industry, promote industrial prosperity and achieve rural revitalization.

The author learned from the Xincheng County Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau that since the beginning of this year, the county’s mulberry garden area has reached 258,260 acres, and 78,365 silkworm seeds have been produced. Sericulture farmers involved 70,735 silkworms in 12 townships (towns) and 130 administrative villages. households, held 12 sericulture technical training courses, trained 720 people, provided technical guidance more than 60 times, received guidance for 300 people, and distributed 720 technical materials. Among them, the first batch of commercial baby silkworms was released on March 16, and the first batch of fresh cocoons are now on the market. The price of fresh cocoons is 44 to 46 yuan per kilogram. During the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” period, Xincheng County successfully established two standardized silkworm breeding demonstration bases in Liuna Village, Hongdu Town and Lang Village, Gupeng Town. Standardized silkworm houses, equipped with automated sericulture equipment, lead the transformation of the traditional industrial model of individual dispersed breeding into a standardized and modern factory-style breeding model. Introducing the results of school-enterprise cooperation between Shiyi Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd., the leading silkworm enterprise in Guangxi, and Hechi College, a sericulture research university, to develop a “smart sericulture cloud” platform, using “Internet + cloud” remote monitoring and tracking technology to guide sericulture farmers in standardized breeding, real-time online Help farmers solve problems in the silkworm breeding process. The “Shanglang Model” and “Six-Na Model” have successfully solved the bottleneck that restricts the low survival rate of sericulture farmers, and the two models are being promoted throughout the county. Through the base demonstration, we will realize the standardized, large-scale and intensive development of the sericulture industry, promote the integrated development of primary, secondary and tertiary industries, and bring the county’s sericulture industry to a new level.

At present, there are 324 cooperatives, 105 family farms, 54 micro-enterprises, and 7 processing enterprises engaged in the sericulture industry in Xincheng County, among which Xincheng County HengyeSilkThe company has successively won the honor of autonomous region-level and national-level agricultural industrialization leading enterprises. The county has built a total of 58 production lines, processing more than 5,600 tons of dried cocoons annually and producing more than 1,900 tons of white factory silk, solvingemploymentPopulation 4834. The development of new agricultural business entities in the county has promoted the purchase and sale of silkworm cocoons, silk reeling processing, white factory silk sales, and the research and development of labor-saving sericulture equipment and facilities, etc., promoting the extension and development of the county’s sericulture industry chain. In August 2020, Xincheng County Industrial Investment Development Group Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Tongyi Xin Zhongkong Industrial Co., Ltd. and Guangxi Lubao Ecological Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Co., Ltd. jointly established Guangxi Tongyi National Silk Development Co., Ltd. The company is located in Xincheng County Hongdu Industrial Park focuses on technology research and development and innovation in the entire industry chain of silkworm, cocoon, and silk agriculture, industry, trade, and research, and implements the construction of the Sanjiangkou (Xincheng) Cocoon and Silk Deep Processing Park Project. The project covers an area of 1,600 acres and will complement the shortcomings of the mulberry cocoon and silk industry in Xincheng County and provide strong industrial project support and technical support. Relying on this project, Yizhou and Xincheng, two of the country’s top sericulture counties, will be developed into strong sericulture counties, driving the integrated development of the primary, secondary and tertiary sericulture industries in the region. Currently, Xincheng County is implementing the Xincheng County Silkworm Industry Poverty Alleviation Project, with a total planned investment of 158.6 million yuan to build 12 sericulture industry poverty alleviation demonstration bases in batches and phases. Each base will build basic supporting facilities such as a large silkworm house, a mulberry leaf storage room, a co-breeding room for small silkworms, and a cocoon and silt processing center. Promote the health and stability of the mulberry cocoon and silk industry in Xincheng County by integrating and promoting advanced sericulture technologies such as excellent silkworm varieties, standardized mulberry planting and sericulture technology, comprehensive sericulture pest and disease prevention and control technology, sericulture resource comprehensive utilization technology, and process-based Internet cloud supervision. development, improve industrial efficiency and comprehensive industrial competitiveness, increase farmers’ production income, thereby achieving rapid poverty alleviation and laying a solid foundation for rural revitalization.
