Liuzhou'S Agricultural Sector: Cocoon Prices Will Not Always Run High

At the peak of the first batch of cocoons listed this year, the silkworm cocoons of the counties in Liuzhou are generally sold to around 32 yuan / kg, which is a great surprise to the farmers.

It is understood that the drought from last year to this spring has brought great impact to Liuzhou's sericulture industry.

In order to enhance the confidence of mulberry silkworms in raising silkworms, Liuzhou introduced the subsidy policy of silkworm eggs in 2010, and subsidized silkworm eggs purchased from regular channels for each 3 yuan subsidy.

At present, Liuzhou's mulberry garden area is 435 thousand mu, of which 27 thousand mu are rebuilt and new species.

The counties also actively support the development of silkworms, such as Luzhai County, which subsidize 2 cents per plant for mulberry mulberry seedlings. In the demonstration area, the newly approved small silkworm common breeding room approved by the plan, the construction of (Simplified) silkworm breeding room, the automatic cluster and equipment picking cocoons, and the silkworm disease integrated treatment facilities (silkworm excrement centralized treatment pond) are properly subsidized. Liucheng county has also formulated five measures in time to deal with some problems existing in the cocoon purchasing market in the past years, and promptly formulated special measures to combat unlicensed acquisitions and mobile cross border acquisitions, standardize the cocoon market operation order, and ensure the increase in production and income of silkworm farmers.

Liuzhou's Agriculture Department said that although the market is good at present, according to past experience, with the large number of cocoons listed, cocoon price will not always be running high.
