It is reported that the sericulture industry has always been an important pillar industry for the economic development of Huashan Town and the prosperity of farmers. As early as more than ten years ago, mulberry and silkworm cultivation began in the local area, and many people have embarked on the road to wealth by relying on mulberry and silkworm cultivation. In recent years, Huashan Town has adapted measures to local conditions and guided the masses to vigorously develop the sericulture industry, which has achieved sustained and steady development.
At present, the town has a total mulberry garden area of 3,721 acres, and sericulture breeding involves 1,500 farmers in 146 groups in 12 villages. In 2020, the output of fresh cocoons was 306.18 tons, achieving an output value of 16.25 million yuan.
Due to the good weather since autumn this year, the autumn cocoons raised by silkworm farmers in Huashan Town are of high quality and the price is also good. Silkworm farmer Li Shuhong said that she raised silkworm cocoons for three seasons this year and sold 1,372 kilograms of cocoons, earning a total income of more than 80,000 yuan, which was much higher than last year.
It is reported that since the acquisition of silkworm cocoons this year, Huashan Town Cocoon Station has purchased 311,472.7 kilograms of fresh cocoons, with an output value of 18.0542 million yuan. It is expected that a total of 321,972.7 kilograms will be purchased in 2021, with an output value of more than 20 million yuan.
In the next step, Huashan Town will plan to expand and strengthen the sericulture industry by strengthening publicity and training, strengthening service guidance, revitalizing land resources, and actively mobilizing farmers to plant mulberry and raise sericulture.
