Jiangsu Cocoon Silk Market Is Low, Silkworm Farmers Need To Treat Calmly.

The price of this autumn cocoon of 12 yuan to 13 yuan per ton is the only one in the last ten years.

It seems to be an inevitable choice for silkworm farmers to destroy the mulberry trees.

According to the survey: in the short period of half a month after the autumn cocoon sale in Jinhu County, the area of the county's destruction of mulberry trees has reached more than 6000 mu, which accounts for 1/2 of the county's mulberry garden area, especially the high yield mulberry garden which has been seriously damaged. Even the mulberry garden that has been planted on poplar trees has not been spared.

We might as well analyse it calmly.

　　1.造成茧丝绸市场低迷的原因：供大于求的矛盾是造成茧丝绸市场低迷的主要原因。

1.1 with the development of the western region in China, the project of "mulberry shifting to the west" has been developing vigorously in recent years. The development of sericultural production in Western and central China has been strong, the growth of mulberry garden area has increased rapidly, and the output of cocoon silk has also increased significantly.

1.2 the financial crisis triggered by the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States has led to global economic difficulties, resulting in an economic downturn in the major economies such as the United States and its tight market demand. The export of Chinese silk products has been seriously affected, and the export volume has declined. Many domestic cocoon and silk processing enterprises have increased the cost of wages and auxiliary materials and increased the cost of their operations.

　　2.目前盲目毁桑，并非理性，需冷静。

2.1 in recent years, the market of cocoon silk has been depressed, the cocoon price has gone down, and the comparative efficiency of silkworm farming and sericulture has declined, which has dampened the enthusiasm of sericulture farmers.

In particular, the mulberry garden area in the economically developed areas is greatly reduced, for example, in 2005, the mulberry garden area in Jinhu county was 35000 mu, and the mulberry garden area in 2008 was only 12000 mu. The price of autumn cocoons this year is not only unprofitable for sericulture and sericulture, but also for the loss of artificial silkworms, resulting in serious destruction of mulberry garden and greatly reduced mulberry garden area.

In this way, the contradiction between supply and demand of cocoon silk will be alleviated to a large extent.

2.2 under the background of the state's "east to West shift" project, although the area of mulberry gardens in the central and western regions has increased significantly, the current situation of cocoon and silk market will not be enlarged in the central and western regions.

But this will be faced with the "bottleneck" of steady development. There are many potential difficulties in production, especially the weak foundation and weak technical strength.

In short, its condition and foundation can not keep up with the current scale of development, and it will take a period of gradual improvement.

2.3 the state's macro control over the cocoon and silk industry has achieved remarkable results. Through optimizing the allocation of resources, improving the level of internationalization of production and operation, pforming the "popular" products of silk into "fine, excellent and special", enhancing the competitiveness of silk products and further optimizing the export structure, Chinese silk will surely revive in the world silk market.

To sum up, the author thinks that although the cocoon silk market is in a downturn, it is necessary for the silkworm farmers and cocoon silk enterprises to strengthen their confidence and rationally deal with the "severe winter" in their worries, especially the sericultural farmers.

Although the cocoon price is low, can't we seek new economic growth points under mulberry intercropping, silkworm and mulberry by-products under the guidance of Sericultural Science and technology personnel?
