Recently, Jiujia Town, RMByi, Hani, and Lahu Autonomous County, Pu'er City, Yunnan Province, has seen a bumper harvest of the first batch of cocoons this year. Silkworm production has achieved a "successful start" and won the first barrel of "silkworm gold".

At the cocoon acquisition site, there was a bustling scene. The baskets and bags of pure white cocoons brought by the sericulture farmers soon piled up into small "snowy mountains", and the white cocoons reflected the smiling face of the sericulture farmers who had a good harvest. The company's technical personnel evaluate whether the cocoon is a standard cocoon based on the cocoon layer rate, pupation rate, and moisture content of the cocoon, and price it based on quality and high quality. After determining the quality, it is weighed, graded, registered, and invoiced, and purchased at a price of 62 RMB per kilogram for primary cocoon and 60 RMB per kilogram for secondary cocoon.

This year's spring silkworm cocoons have good quality and high prices. Sericulture farmers are welcoming the "start" of sericulture production and harvesting the first barrel of "silkworm gold". This year, I raised 3.75 silkworms in spring, sold 165.9 kilograms of fresh cocoons, and earned 10230 RMB. Silkworm raising is quite cost-effective, with low investment, short cycle, high profits, and quick results. Both the elderly and children can do it without delaying other agricultural work. We raise 4 batches of silkworms a year, and one season of silkworms is only a month. I also need to raise 6 more silkworms in summer. Based on the current purchase price, the income from silkworm raising this year can be around 50000 RMB Wang Youming, who has more than 10 years of experience in planting silkworms and raising silkworms, looked at the purchase receipt of cocoons in his hand and said happily.

The high price of spring cocoons this year has brought joy to the farmers and strengthened their confidence in raising silkworms to increase income and become rich. They have expressed that they will do a good job in disinfecting the silkworm tools in the silkworm houses, strengthen mulberry management, and welcome the arrival of the next season of summer silkworms.

Jiujia Town currently has a silkworm breeding area of 500 acres, involving four villages: Mengzhen, Wengang, Santai, and Heping Village. Silkworm breeding raises four batches of spring, summer, autumn, and late autumn silkworms every year. This spring silkworm breeding distributed 80 spring silkworm seeds, involving 52 households from 12 village groups in four villages. The sales of fresh cocoons reached 3144 kilograms, achieving an output value of 194000 RMB, including 10 poverty-stricken households with an average income increase of 3500 RMB, And the purchase price of spring silkworm cocoons has reached a new historical high in Jiujia Town.
