It was awarded “China’s Hometown of Sericulture” and “China’s High-Quality Cocoon and Silk Base” by the China Silk Association.

Through the unremitting efforts of Ningnan sericulture people, the three indicators of sericulture production, cocoon production per capita, and cocoon quality ranked first in the country. The total sericulture production, sericulture farmers The two indicators of income ranked first in the province, and it was recognized as a “Silkworm Cocoon Advantageous Area for Agricultural Products with Chinese Characteristics”. 10 companies have settled in the Ningnan County Cocoon and Silk Industrial Concentrated Development Zone, producing cocoons, raw silk, silk quilts, cotton balls and slivers, mulberry leaf tea, mulberry paste and other products, ” The annual output value of the “mulberry cocoon silk + by-products” industrial chain is 3 billion yuan. Among them, the 6A grade raw silk production capacity reaches 1,200 tons/year, accounting for more than 50% of the country’s top silk share, becoming the preferred silk raw material for the world’s top brands such as “Louis Vuitton”, “Hermès” and “Armani”. “Southern Silk Road” cocoon silk has won honors such as “China’s Well-known Trademark”, “Sichuan Province Famous Brand Product” and “Sichuan Province Famous Trademark”.

Sericulture is now a golden sign of Ningnan. The successful convening of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China sounded the clarion call for progress in a new era. In the new journey, how will Ningnan give full play to its advantages in industrial resources and promote high-quality leap-forward development of the county?

Accurate positioning: Accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system and further promote the “second revolution” of sericulture

The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that building a modern industrial system and consolidating the leading position of advantageous industries are effective ways to accelerate the construction of a new development pattern and strive to promote high-quality development.

Under the new opportunity, based on the conditions of Ningnan County, the sericulture industry, as Ningnan’s characteristic and advantageous agriculture, is imperative to accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system.

It has distinctive industrial characteristics, significant development advantages and outstanding economic support. It is ranked first in the country. The province and the whole country have very strong competitiveness. In 2021, the Sericulture Modern Agriculture Park in Biwo Village, Songxin Town, Ningnan was successfully established as a provincial five-star sericulture modern agriculture park. At the 15th Party Congress and County People’s Congress of Ningnan County, it was proposed to create a national-level sericulture modern agricultural industrial park that is “leading in the country and a model for the province” to promote the sericulture industry in the county to a new level and achieve it by 2025. The mulberry planting area reaches 280,000 acres, the cocoon production reaches 310,000 tons, and the output value of cocoon silk and related industries exceeds 8 billion yuan. This is not only the only way to modernize agriculture in Ningnan, but alsoIt is the goal for the cadres and the masses of the county to work together and work together.
