It Is Not Suitable To Enlarge The Scale Of Silkworm Breeding Blindly.

According to the statistics of the Ministry of agriculture, the production of silkworm cocoons in spring this year is affected by the severe drought in Southwest China, the low temperature and cold damage in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the late growth of mulberry leaves, the slow growth of the mulberry trees, and the delayed incubation of spring silkworms for about 7 days, but there is still a good situation of increasing production and income.

Judging from the output, according to statistics, 6 million 67 thousand species of silkworm eggs were released this year, an increase of 492 thousand over the same period, an increase of 8.8%, and cocoon production of 257 thousand tons, an increase of 27 thousand tons compared with the same period last year, an increase of 11.8%.

From the purchase price of spring cocoons, the purchase price of fresh cocoons nationwide is calculated by weighted average of 50 kilograms of cocoon price. Last year, spring cocoons were 970 yuan and Xia Qiujian was 1167 yuan. This year spring cocoons rose to 1533 yuan, up 58.6% compared with the same period last year, and the ring ratio increased 31.4%.

Among them, Jiangsu, Shandong and other high quality cocoons are all over 1800 yuan.

Such as Jiangsu, Haian, Dongtai and Zhejiang, Jinyun, Chunan and other counties and cities, the highest price reached 2000 yuan.

The cocoon price is higher in spring.

The Ministry of agriculture's planting management division researcher, Huai song, predicts that although there are serious floods in some areas of the south, some of them are affected by summer silkworms. But most of them are autumn silkworms in the summer and autumn. As long as the climate is normal, the yield of autumn cocoons will be higher than that of spring silkworms. The total output of silkworm cocoons in the whole year will increase by more than 10%.

If cocoon price can maintain the level of spring, the national sericultural income will be nearly doubled, and it can better compensate the loss of silkworm farmers' production and reduction in the previous two years.

But from another two sets of data analysis, next year's silkworm production is complex: first, the output of silkworm eggs will be over 15 million this year, an increase of more than 30% over last year.

According to the normal market supply and demand analysis, next year is either oversupply of silkworm cocoons or loss of silkworm farmers, or loss of silkworm eggs.

Two, some areas have begun to expand the area of mulberry trees blindly.

According to statistics, this year's national mulberry garden area of 11 million 960 thousand mu, an increase of 289 thousand mu, an increase of 2.5%.

One of the western provinces has increased 280 thousand mu, an increase of 15.3% over the previous year, and plans to produce 3 million 200 thousand silkworms in the summer and Autumn period, an increase of 1 million 420 thousand, an increase of 80.5% over the same period, and a rapid expansion of the area.
