Yunnan Qilin: Spring cocoon prices hit record high

Recently, the purchase of spring cocoons from major cocoon stations in Qilin District, Qujing City, Yunnan Province is coming to an end. The average price of fresh spring silkworm cocoons this year is 65.75 yuan/kg, an increase of 24.52 yuan from 41.23 yuan/kg in the same period last year, an increase of 59.4 yuan. %, a record high.

“This year’s profit is very good. Each silkworm is sold for 405.5 yuan more than last year. My family raised 8 silkworms, which is almost more than 23,000 yuan. I am still very satisfied with this income.” Villager Tao Yaquan said.

In addition to the increase in the price of silkworm cocoons, the quality of spring cocoons this year is also very good. Due to the moderate rainfall this year, the mulberry garden is growing well. Scientific and technical personnel from the district sericulture station have gone deep into the front line to strengthen technical guidance on mulberry planting and sericulture, and the quality of spring cocoons has been greatly improved.

“Although some minor poisonings occurred in spring silkworms this year, by strengthening feeding management and taking timely remedial measures, silkworm farmers did not suffer major economic losses. A total of 11,700 spring silkworms were seeded in the region, with an estimated output of 520,000 kilograms and an output value of 3398.81 Ten thousand yuan can increase the income of silkworm farmers by 12.75 million yuan,” said Li Guocan, director of the district sericulture station.

It is understood that due to the impact of the epidemic in recent years, the cost of sericulture materials, silkworm drugs, and disinfectants has increased, and labor wages have risen, resulting in a shortage of domestic silkworm cocoon raw materials. In addition, Qilin District has suitable climate conditions, a high level of scientific and technological management of mulberry planting and sericulture, and the quality of silkworm cocoons is in a leading position in the country. It is favored by silk companies, causing many manufacturers to compete. With rush buying, prices naturally rise sharply.
