The sericulture industry in Fenghuang County, Hunan Province has embarked on a beautiful development path

In March of spring, in the fields and slopes of Datianlong Village, Luochaojing Town, Fenghuang County, the villagers were busy preparing the land, planting mulberries and trees, and clearing weeds in their mulberry gardens. , cultivating and fertilizing, pruning and shaping… a beautiful and prosperous rural picture.

Like Datianlong Village, the majority of sericulture farmers in key sericulture towns and base villages in the county are seizing the season and conscientiously doing a good job in expanding mulberry gardens and managing mulberry trees. In the past three years, Fenghuang County has adopted industrial development ideas such as “establishing mulberry as an industry and diversifying development” to cultivate sericulture as a key industry, making it an industry that can not only promote the prosperity of rural industries, increase farmers’ income and become rich, but also improve the ecology. Environmental green development scene.

Fenghuang has been a paradise for prosperous farming and mulberry since ancient times. During festive times, the bright brocade decorations in the national costumes of Tujia and Miao villages confirm Fenghuang’s long history of planting mulberry and raising sericulture. In addition, the county is located near 27.9 degrees north latitude, one of the most important cities in Hunan Province. It is one of the best suitable areas for planting mulberry and raising sericulture. The cocoons produced have the characteristics of thick cocoon layer, long cocoon filament and high unwinding rate. According to the technical tests of the Sericulture Research Institute of Hunan, Sichuan, Guangxi and other provinces, 80% of them are 5A level or above. , reaching export standards in Europe and the United States and other countries and regions, and the products sell well all over the country. Planting mulberry and raising silkworms is a good way to promote the prosperity of rural industries and increase farmers’ income.

“Industrial development is on the right path, and land can produce gold.” Ma Lizhang, a mulberry planter and silkworm farmer in Machong Township, felt deeply. His family has 20 acres of mulberry gardens and earned 150,000 yuan last year. This year, Ma Lizhang is working there. The township sericulture industry mobilization and promotion meeting made a calculation for everyone: “In addition to planting mulberry and raising sericulture, the mulberry garden can also interplant tartary buckwheat and soybeans in the spring, and can also rotate a crop of vegetables in the autumn. The combined income of these several items can be quite a lot per year. At 12,000 yuan, one acre of land is worth the original several acres of land, which is much better than growing flue-cured tobacco or going out to work.”

Since 2019, the Fenghuang County Party Committee and County Government have cultivated the sericulture industry as a pillar industry to promote rural economic development and increase farmers’ income, and have taken effective measures to mobilize farmers to “plant mulberry saplings and plant dreams of getting rich” and pay close attention to the industry development and achieved remarkable results.

The scale of industry increases from small to large. First, the mulberry base has rapidly expanded its area. The county built more than 10,000 acres of mulberry gardens last winter and this spring, bringing the total area of mulberry gardens to 24,200 acres, including more than 18,000 acres of densely planted mulberry gardens with high yields; second, sericulture facilities are being advanced in an orderly manner. The county has built 120 simple silkworm rooms, totaling 12,000 square meters; built 18 small silkworm co-breeding rooms, totaling 2,160 square meters; third, the amount of silkworm breeding has expanded rapidly. In 2021, the county will raise 5,000 silkworms and produce 320,000 kilograms of cocoons. It is expected to exceed 12,000 in 2022, producing 800,000 kilograms of fresh cocoons and 400,000 kilograms of dried cocoons. It is estimated that the comprehensive total output value of sericulture will be more than 60 million yuan, and the tax revenue will be 480,000 yuan.

The income structure of farmers involved in mulberry has been diversified. The county promotes the 6.2.15 planting model for mulberry planting and sericulture, and implements grain-mulberry intercropping and vegetable-mulberry cropping rotation. That is, every year, more than 10,000 acres of mulberry orchards are operated as a compound operation, mainly interplanting buckwheat or red sweet potato in spring and planting vegetables in autumn. , the two output values plus the cocoon income of mulberry farmers have reached more than 10,000 yuan per mu, achieving the goal of comprehensive utilization of resources and diversifying farmers’ income.

The production guarantee system is constantly improving. The county party committee and the county government mobilized capable forces to establish the county sericulture industry office, which provides full-time services and management of the county’s sericulture industry. Special classes for the sericulture industry have been established in each township. Each mulberry industry village is equipped with sericulture technical instructors to help farmers plant mulberry and raise sericulture. Provide nanny-style technical services. At the same time, the construction of village-level sericulture technical service institutions and networks has been strengthened, and a new sericulture technical service and production and operation system in which county sericulture office technical service institutions and township and village service networks coexist is being formed. The county has established 35 rural regional industrial key villages, which not only provide collaborative services focusing on pre-production, production, post-production, technology, materialization and production organization, but also implement demonstrations and training with enterprises as the main body, truly realizing the The organizational system with a clear subject of “the government sets the stage and the mulberry farmers perform” provides a strong organizational guarantee for the development of the sericulture industry in the county.

The industrial chain is further extended. First, the site selection for a 1,200-square-meter cocoon drying plant has been completed this year. Construction is planned to start at the end of March, completed in mid-April, and put into production at the end of May. It will employ 50 people. The structure for cocoon processing companies to settle in the Phoenix Industrial Park has basically been formed. Second, product development is promoted step by step. Three cocoon drying, silk quilts, and mulberry bud tea processing companies have been cultivated. The end products have developed from the sole production of fresh cocoons in 2019 to today’s more than 10 products including cocoon drying, mulberry wine, mulberry bud tea, silk quilts, and silkworm silt pillows.

The advantages of the sericulture industry are becoming increasingly prominent. In 2021, the county’s sericulture production achieved a comprehensive output value of 30 million yuan, and the per capita comprehensive income of mulberry farmers was more than 10,000 yuan, accounting for 35% of its total annual income. Compared with other cities and counties in the province, Phoenix’s sericulture industry ranks first in Hunan Province in terms of area, output, quality, seed production, cocoon production, cocoon purchase volume and total cocoon revenue. First. It has initially become one of the leading industries for agricultural industrialization and rural revitalization in Fenghuang County, and for farmers to increase their income and become rich.

Improve the guarantee mechanism. One is strong organizational guarantee. Centralize the county party committee,The superior strength of the government has formed a strong organizational management system of joint management. The main leaders of the county party committee directly focus on the industry, train, train and discover cadres in the development of the industry, truly embodying the “development theory of heroes”. The second is an independent management service organization. The county sericulture office was established to be fully responsible for the management of base construction, technical services, market circulation, product processing and other aspects. The third is policy support. The “Fenghuang County Sericulture Industry Development Implementation Plan” was issued to provide comprehensive policy support for the development of the sericulture industry’s primary, secondary and tertiary industry chains such as mountain preparation, seedlings, large and small silkworm house construction, processing and sales. The fourth is to promote technological innovation and bring science and technology to households, insist on implementing the sericulture science and technology commissioner system, set up a sericulture industry expert workstation in Luochaojing Town, and establish science and technology demonstrations in large towns and villages. base, allowing technological advantages to be brought into play. The fifth is to strengthen supervision and assessment. Strengthen the supervision and inspection of the implementation of sericulture work and establish a supervision mechanism. The Sericulture Office is responsible for daily supervision, the Supervision and Assessment Office is responsible for stage supervision, and the disciplinary inspection and supervision department is responsible for key supervision. Incorporate the sericulture industry into an important assessment content of township and department target responsibility systems, and serve as an important basis for cadre promotion and appointment, annual assessment, and evaluation of excellence.

Implement leadership leadership. Fenghuang County has a professional enterprise “Hunan Sanxu Agriculture Co., Ltd.” that specializes in sericulture breeding, product research and development, and processing. The company implements three guarantees for mulberry farmers: 1. Technology guarantee: technicians are stationed in villages to plant mulberry and raise silkworms for the masses. Provide full nanny-style technical services; the second guarantee is acquisition: when the sericulture market is at a low point, a guaranteed minimum purchase price of 36 yuan/kg of cocoons is implemented, and when the market is good, the market will follow the market; the third guarantee is output: technical staff ensure that the silkworm farmers can produce a minimum cocoon of 40 kg per unit, with an income of 2,400 yuan , ensure farmers’ income and promote the development of sericulture industry.

Innovative sericulture model. Promote the “Phoenix Model” of continuous sericulture in multiple batches and regions. This model can raise 10-12 batches of silkworms throughout the year. Compared with other traditional sericulture areas (4-6 batches of sericulture throughout the year), sericulture is The efficiency increased by more than 30%, and the investment in fixed assets such as silkworm houses and silkworm gear decreased by more than 50%. Relying on the “Phoenix Model”, the mulberry orchard area has increased from 4,000 acres in 2019 to 24,200 acres in early March 2022, and the comprehensive benefits of the industry have been continuously released. More and more people have begun to join the ranks of planting mulberry and raising sericulture, and a large number of technical experts and large business operators in sericulture have emerged, such as: Long Anwen, a group of 4 originally registered poor households in Gaoyan Village, Lianglin Township In 2020, he planted 20 acres of mulberries and raised 20 silkworms. The net income in the first year was 15,000 yuan, and the net income in the second year reached 80,000 yuan, achieving a magnificent transformation from a poor household to a well-off family.

The development goals are clear. In accordance with the long-term goal of “building a major sericulture county and creating a national high-quality cocoon and phoenix production base”, we will continue to firmly implement the phoenix model of planting mulberry and raising sericulture, and based on the primary industry, we will drive the simultaneous development of the secondary and tertiary industries. It is planned to take 3 to 5 years to build 50,000 to 100,000 acres of high-yield, efficient and standardized mulberry gardens in the county, raise 100,000 silkworms annually, produce 10,000 tons of high-quality silkworm cocoons, build a pure handmade silk processing factory, and establish a silk reeling factory. Phoenix has achieved an annual output of 10,000 beds of silk quilts and 4,000 tons of high-quality raw silk above 5A level. The products are exported to earn foreign exchange, quickly forming a new pattern of mulberry planting and sericulture in Phoenix, and realizing the realization of the whole industry. The output value of the upstream and downstream of the chain is 800 million yuan, and the tax revenue is 30 million yuan, creating employment for 2,500 people. It will add a 100 million yuan advantageous and characteristic industrial chain to Phoenix to promote the county’s social economy. Fast, good and high-quality development by leaps and bounds.
