This year the sericulture production will be developed very fast in Jiangsu’s Yancheng. It’s predicted that Yancheng’s sericulture farmers has ordered 310,000 boxes of silkworm eggs, 31000 boxes more than same period of last year.
According to Yancheng agricultural sector’s statistics, the volume of local egg production of last year couldn’t meet the farmers’ demand due to unfavorable climate, so a gap of 120,000 boxes occurred. Local government had to buy from other five provinces and regions to make up the wide gap. In addition, hatchability, hybrid rate and number of normal eggs in the laying of eggs bought from other regions are lower than provincial standard. Moreover, 12 silkworm races will be bred this spring in Yancheng. Among them, five races were bought from other provinces and regions and haven’t been bred there ever before.
