Gao County, Yibin: Traditional sericulture “emerges from cocoons and becomes butterflies”, weaving a new path for rural revitalization
After Guyu, the Renmin Village of Jiale Town, located in the core area of the sericulture industry in Gao County, Sichuan, is full of green. The mulberry gardens undulate with the wind, decorating the mountains and fields with green. Not far away, in a co-breeding factory for young silkworms, workers are shuttled between rows of neat silkworm racks, carefully feeding mulberry leaves to the young silkworms. In a few days, the co-breeding of this batch of baby silkworms will be completed and distributed to silkworm farmers.
Renmin Village now has more than 5,000 acres of standardized mulberry gardens. In order to promote the intensification, scale and scientificization of sericulture, it will further improve the efficiency of sericulture farmers. The village has invested in the construction of a small silkworm co-breeding factory with an annual breeding capacity of 6,000 silkworms. It is equipped with professional equipment and facilities to focus on raising 1-3 instar silkworm larvae for villagers, providing guarantee for silkworm farmers to increase production and income.
“Through the co-breeding of small silkworms, the hatching rate, survival rate and neatness rate of silkworms can be improved, which solves the problem of farmers raising small silkworms, and the quality and quality of silkworm cocoons It can also be guaranteed.” Yang Yuanbing, the person in charge of the Xiaosi Co-breeding Factory, said.
This year, all 771 silkworm seeds in the village’s first season entered the small silkworm co-breeding factory for centralized feeding. Relying on co-breeding, silkworm farmers no longer have to worry about small silkworms and only feed large silkworms, which greatly shortens the breeding cycle. The number of breeding batches has increased from the traditional 4 batches to 6 batches, which has increased the income of silkworm farmers and also inspired more than 10 local villagers. Work nearby.
While waiting for the little silkworms to enter his home, silkworm farmer Gao Xilin was not idle. With his rich breeding experience, he became a worker in a silkworm breeding factory. He can earn about 2,500 yuan from raising silkworms for one season. After the joint breeding is over, Gao Xilin can take the silkworms home to feed them, earning a steady income of 40,000 to 50,000 yuan a year.
In Renmin Village, there are many villagers like Gao Xilin who live a good life by growing mulberry and raising silkworms and eating “industrial rice” at their doorsteps. One silkworm and one mulberry has laid a solid foundation for agricultural development, but if we want the industry to prosper, we must find new ways. In recent years, in the process of growing mulberry and raising sericulture, the village has continuously extended the sericulture industry chain and unlocked the “new code” for getting rich.
Every weekend, the “Sanghai Paradise” located on the bank of Tiancan Lake in the village is particularly lively. Colorful windmills, swing zip lines, Internet celebrity bridges… various amusement projects attract many tourists to come and experience the sightseeing experience.
Relying on the advantages of the sericulture industry and the beautiful rural scenery, the village has introduced parent-child entertainment projects, and created a “tracing the origin” sericulture cultural landscape of Dieshui, a sericulture cultural square and a “Silk Road style cultural street”. At the same time, silkworm culture and new creativity collide, and cultural and creative products such as silkworm cocoon decorations and cocoon paintings are derived. The sericulture industry is changing from traditional sericulture and selling cocoons to the integration of agriculture and tourism.
“The environment here is beautiful, the air is fresh, especially the sericulture-themed culture is very innovative.” Tourist Zhou Yang and his family have been to “Songhai Paradise” many times, and they come with full expectations every time and are full of joy. Return.
In addition to exploring the integrated development of agriculture and tourism, in order to maximize the benefits of the sericulture industry, the village also actively introduces processing companies to recycle mulberry branches, forming a comprehensive development of mulberry poultry breeding, mulberry breeding of bacteria, and mulberry branch slicing. The model allows mulberry branches to exert their value for the second time in the fields of edible fungi and pharmaceutical processing, further expanding the channels for villagers to increase their income.
Along the “New Silk Road” woven by sericulture, Renmin Village has embarked on the “road to wealth” of industrial transformation and upgrading. The small silkworm treasures and the mulberry fields not only witnessed the great changes of the People’s Village, but also led the villagers to live a better new life. In 2021, the per capita disposable income of the village will reach 25,000 yuan. A picture of rural revitalization with prosperous industries, beautiful ecology, and wealthy people is slowly unfolding.
