Governments At All Levels In Chongqing Support The Development Of Silk Industry

In recent years, Chongqing has been the ten largest country in the country.

Silk industry has suffered a serious crisis.

"Thanks to the support and support of governments at all levels for the silk industry."

Wang Xiaohui, chairman of Chongqing Silk Association and chairman of Chongqing Hong Mei Da Xin Xing Industrial (Group) Co., Ltd., told reporters that under the support of the government, Hong Mei Da had survived the difficulties and gained many awards.

Economic crisis threatens silk enterprises

Wulong is Chongqing's famous silkworm breeding base for producing high-quality silk. Planting mulberry and raising silkworms is also the main source of income for farmers in the middle and western parts of Wulong.

Peng Shunlu, 46, has been rearing silkworms for fifteen years and six years. He is a member of numerous silkworm farmers in the village of Wuyang tree in Pingqiao Town, Wulong.

In 2008, Peng Shunlu did not expect the price of cocoon to drop suddenly.

"At the lowest time, a kilogram sells sixteen seven yuan, five or six yuan lower than the first year."

Peng Shunlu was puzzled.

At that time, he did not know that the economic crisis in Europe and America had endangered the sericulture industry that his family depended on.

"Some hearts are grey, and several families have changed their crops."

Peng Shunlu recalls.

According to the statistics of Wulong county government, the sericultural planting area of the county fell to 15 thousand mu in early 2009 from 31 thousand and 500 mu in 2007.

In response, there were more than 200 silk enterprises in Chongqing before 2008, and only 30 remaining after the economic crisis.

"But there are fewer than ten companies actually producing."

Wang Xiaohui, chairman of Chongqing Silk Association and chairman of Hong Mei Da enterprise group, told reporters.

"For the silk industry with high capital occupancy rate, if there is no raw material base, it will be very difficult to be bigger and bigger. Sometimes I want to quit."

Wang Xiaohui recalled the scene at that time, somewhat tired.

Government and enterprise cooperation to tide over difficulties

Under the crisis, Wulong county government and Hong Mei Da decisively adopted subsidies to farmers and increased investment in technology to encourage farmers to stick to it.

Planting.

"One silkworm is 30 yuan, the company subsidized five or six yuan, the government has almost subsidized so much, we bought it at almost half price."

Peng Shunlu said seedlings, greenhouses, pesticides and silkworm houses all have subsidies.

In 2011, the Peng Shunlu family received a subsidy of 6000 yuan from Hong Mei Da's Silkworm housing subsidy, and the subsidy granted by the government to silkworm eggs exceeded 3000 yuan.

Over the past three years, Hong Mei DA has invested about 4000000 yuan in silkworm mulberry silkworm rearing, silkworm improvement and so on in Wulong County, and invested another $about 1000000 in sericulture subsidies.

In addition, Hong Mei Da also worked with the government to establish a technical service system with silk company as the main body, township cocoon station, village sericultural worker, small silkworm breeding households and professional large family as the network, covering all links of sericulture production.

Training courses were also held to invite experts to carry out technical lectures, introduce high-quality silkworm eggs, and help sericulture.

Wang Xiaohui said that at the cocoon base of Fuling, Nanchuan and Liang hung Mei Da, the local government and Hong Mei Da also adopted the same measures to boost the sericulture industry and increase the income of farmers.

Enterprise farmers achieve double harvest

Peng Shunlu house, located in the southwest corner of uyang Shu Village, has planted about ten mu of mulberry sericulture this year.

Peng Shunlu's family just finished the third season of cocoon this year, and the sacks filled with white flowers and cocoons filled half a room.

"There are more than 400 kilograms this season."

Peng Shunlu pointed to a dozen of sacks filled with cocoons on the wall and told reporters that "the first season with the most harvest can be more than one ton, and the total harvest is five quarters, a total of 3 tons."

This year, the price of silkworm cocoons in Wulong is 26~28 yuan per kilogram.

This means that this family of eight will earn about eighty thousand yuan for mulberry silkworm breeding this year.

"Two times three years ago."

Peng Shunlu laughed happily.

According to the statistics of Wulong county government, the planting area of silkworm in Wulong County reached 40293 mu last year, the output of fresh cocoon increased by 210%, the price of silkworm cocoons increased by about 10 yuan than that of three years ago, and the household income of sericultural farmers increased by 236% compared with that of 2008.

In addition, the income of sericultural farmers in Fuling and Nanchuan also increased significantly.

In the crisis, Hong Mei has also won the honor. This year, we won the national high grade silk fabric logo. It is the only enterprise that has won the honor in Chongqing.

At the same time, Hong Mei Da was rated as an excellent private enterprise in Chongqing.

"Thanks to governments at all levels.

Industry support and support. "

Wang Xiaohui sighed.
