Shaanxi Ankang: “One thread” connects the industrial integration chain
When it was still early spring, I walked into Tiefosi Town, Hanyin County, Ankang City, Shaanxi Province. In the thousand-acre mulberry garden, rows of spring mulberry trees were about to take off their buds. Cleaning ditches, applying fertilizer, and weeding, villagers are busy in the fields, and the heat is steaming before their eyes. Xu Anping, who returned to his hometown to start a business in Tiefusi Town, is also busy choosing a location for his “Jinhan” brand silk quilt flagship store. In the new year, he wants to build the offline flagship store into an important link between farmers and the market. window.
At the beginning of 2022, in order to look for business opportunities, Tiefusi Town formed three investment teams and went to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai to inspect investment promotion, knock on doors to visit commercial companies, invite entrepreneurs from inside and outside the county to visit the town, and negotiate with the utmost sincerity. From the beginning, Xu Ping An had a fate with the town. Just a few months later, he founded the county’s first silk quilt factory, Hanyin County Jiaxiangyuan Agricultural Development Co., Ltd., in Sihe Village. It only took 4 months from construction to formal production.
“I have been engaged in the automobile trade business in Shanghai for more than ten years, and I already had the idea of returning to my hometown. At that time, the town’s investment team found me, and I came here to see the silkworm breeding room, cocoon drying room, etc. With everything available, we decided to set up a factory here.” Xu An’an said that the town has provided the most generous investment benefits and the best business environment for the silk quilt factory, providing a processing plant of more than 400 square meters and equipped with a reeling factory. and product exhibition hall, exempting some water and electricity bills, assisting in the purchase of 30 sets of equipment (sets), and coordinating the local employment of more than 20 people.
The reason why Xu Ping An’s silk enterprise was able to put into production quickly was due to Tiefosi Town’s continuous promotion of the quality and efficiency of the sericulture industry over the years. The sericulture industry is a traditional industry in Tiefosi Town. However, for a long time, the local silk industry has been fragmented in scale, with backward technology, low-end products, and extensive management and maintenance. The people have worked hard to grow mulberry and raise silkworms, but only get a little money from selling cocoons. As most of the young and middle-aged labor force migrates to work, the sericulture industry is even more declining.
In order to revitalize the sericulture industry, Tiefosi Town organically combines characteristic industries with ecological construction and promotes it from top to bottom. In Sihe Village, where the sericulture industry is concentrated, land reclamation and contiguous construction of parks were completed, and a thousand-acre sericulture industrial park was completed.
In 2019, the town established a professional sericulture cooperative in Sihe Village, and local people joined the cooperative through land transfer, allotment of shares, etc. Later, a standardized silkworm breeding studio was built, and 23 large breeding households in the village joined the cooperative to breed and develop as a team. Today, more than 600 acres of large-scale mulberry gardens, 5 standardized silkworm rooms, and 400 sets of silkworm gear have been built, which can meet the needs of raising more than 150 silkworms in a single season, and the actual number of silkworms raised in the year was 240.
The healthy development of the sericulture industry is predicated on long-term and stable benefits. The town has determined the development model of the sericulture industry of “cooperative trusteeship + large household contracting + free-range farming by farmers”, which not only stimulates the enthusiasm of the villagers to develop the industry, but also broadens the scope of the village. Space for collective industrial development.
Sihe Village suddenly emerged and developed as a team, and soon became the main force in the development of the sericulture industry in Tiefosi Town, and led more and more villages and towns in the county to join the team of “peeling silk and cocoons”. With Sihe Village as the radiation base, the three villages of Sihe, Shuangxi and Gaofeng have formed a sericulture industry alliance to realize the complementary advantages between resource villages. So far, the mulberry gardens in Shuangxi and Gaofeng villages have reached 300 acres respectively. At that time, the two villages raised sericulture. There were 120 silkworms, and the comprehensive output value increased significantly compared with the same period.
Under the role of a typical demonstration, the number of professional sericulture cooperatives in the town has increased to 4. Among them, the Sihe Village Cooperative took the lead in trying large household contracting, that is, the cooperative is responsible for the co-breeding of small silkworms, and the large sericulture households rent the silkworm rooms, silkworm tools and equipment provided by the cooperative for a fee. Mulberry leaves, and pay a certain amount of additional contract fees, on this basis, they are responsible for their own profits and losses. The collective provides mulberry leaves to sericulture farmers, and charges mulberry leaf fees of 300 yuan per silkworm, achieving a net income of about 350 yuan per silkworm. Including the silkworm room contracting fee, the village collective profit is more than 120,000 yuan.
The pilot of this model has created stable profits for the cooperative and mobilized the enthusiasm of large households to raise silkworms. The sericulture cooperatives in the other three villages are still directly operated by the village collectives, but improvements have been made in sericulture technology and operation and maintenance efficiency, and the yield and quality of silkworm cocoons have been significantly improved. That year, 360 silkworms were raised in the town, and the sales of silkworm cocoons were nearly 900,000 yuan, benefiting more than 300 farmers, achieving a win-win situation for the cooperative, the large contracting households, and the farmers who invested shares.
The substantial increase in the scale of sericulture has laid a solid foundation for the creation of the entire sericulture industry chain. 2022 is the first year that Jiaxiangyuan Agricultural Development Co., Ltd. settled in Tiefosi Town, and it has achieved good results at the beginning. Xu An’an said: “Last year in the spring silkworm season, we collected more than 18,000 kilograms of cocoons and produced more than 1,000 beds of silk quilts, with an output value of about 2 million yuan.”
Strengthening the processing link of agricultural enterprises is not only the key to increasing the added value of products, but also the core of building the entire industrial chain. Cooking cocoons, peeling cotton, drying, pulling cotton, and forming embryos, Xu Anping is aware of every step of silk production. With a keen eye, he hired technical masters from Tongxiang, Jiaxing, Zhejiang, known as the “Hometown of Silk Quilts”, to teach and train local workers step by step.
At the fifth CIIE, the “Jinhan” brand of high-quality silk produced by Tiefosi Town made its debut on the international stage. A bed of “Jinhan” brand that is as soft and skin-friendly as a cloud.The silk quilt represents the development process of the entire industry chain of cocoonsilk in Tiefosi Town from scratch, from small to large, from weak to strong. “In the past, the traditional method of extracting silk was to cut the cocoon in half with scissors. Now we use new technology to directly extract the silk. The silk cotton is not easy to break, is stronger and more durable, and the lifespan of the silk quilt is at least as long as that of ordinary silk quilts on the market. Double.” Xu Anping said proudly.
It should be processed and processed as much as possible, and it should be thorough and thorough. The silkworm cocoons in Tiefusi Town have gained recent sales and the best selling price. The purchase of silkworm cocoons has also spread to other surrounding towns with sericulture industries such as Pingliang and Jianchi. The silk quilt factory recycles local and silkworm cocoons at a price slightly higher than the market price. Cocoons from nearby towns and villages are processed into silk and sold inside and outside the province. While achieving seamless connection between production, sales and purchase, we will further extend the industrial chain, build a supply chain and enhance the value chain. According to statistics, the comprehensive output value of the town’s sericulture industry has increased more than five times compared with the same period last year, and has achieved gratifying results.
Planting mulberry and raising silkworms, reeling and weaving silk, and pulling cotton to make quilts. Here, from thousands of cocoons to a quilt, a strand of silk connects the complete industrial chain of mulberry cocoon and silk production, including planting, breeding, harvesting, production, supply and marketing, and has become a veritable “golden thread” for local wealth.
As a small town deep in the mountains, Tiefosi Town does not have geographical advantages, but it can seize the opportunity to advance into the upstream of the industry, allowing the industrial chain to continuously expand and extend, linking the integrated development of sericulture agriculture, silk industry and characteristic agricultural tourism industry. new “Silk Road”. Strengthen the leader, strengthen the chain, develop business formats, and build brands. The entire cocoon and silk industry chain in Tiefosi Town will also follow the new “Silk Road” and head towards a bright blue ocean.
