On May 19, in the greenhouse of the Yingshan Sericulture Base in Jiangjialing Village, Xianzijiao Town, Dao County, Hunan Province, hundreds of square clusters were arranged neatly, and the large silkworms had all formed cocoons on the clusters, and they were all white. The silkworm cocoons are as big as pigeon eggs, as snow-like as frost, which is very pleasant. The workers were busy sorting out the checkered clusters and picking off the silkworm cocoons. They were very busy.
“This batch has a total of 20 silkworm seeds, which can produce 1 ton of cocoons and can be sold for about 50,000 yuan.” He Bingqian, the person in charge of Yingshan Sericulture Base, was so happy that he couldn’t help but smile.
He Bingqian, 51 years old, had been engaged in fruit planting before, and came into contact with mulberry farming and silkworm rearing by chance. He discovered that the mulberry silkworm industry has the advantages of being “short, flat and blocky”, so he started trying to grow mulberry and raise silkworms in 2016. From the beginning of exploring how to grow mulberry and raising silkworms, looking for sales, to now when purchasers come directly to purchase, He Bingqian’s road is getting wider and wider. Today, he has become a well-known “soil expert” in sericulture in the village and has increased his income and become rich.
“My base can produce 10 tons of cocoons a year, with an annual income of more than 500,000 yuan.” He Bingqian said, “The unit price of cocoons this year has increased compared with last year, and life is getting better day by day.”

Seeing that He Bingqian’s efficiency in growing mulberry and raising sericulture is getting better and better, villagers in surrounding villages have also gradually joined the industry of growing mulberry and raising sericulture. After becoming rich, He Bingqian did not forget to help the villagers. Whenever a villager came to ask for advice on silkworm raising techniques, he would patiently teach him. At the same time, He Bingqian will also share sales channels with sericulture farmers, and the Yingshan Sericulture Base has gradually become a “consignment point” for nearby villagers to sell silkworm cocoons.
Dao County actively guides farmers to plant mulberry and raise silkworms, relying on the development model of “base + cooperative + farmer” to drive local people to develop industries and become rich. At present, Dao County’s sericulture industry base covers an area of more than 1,300 acres, with 36 business entities and an annual output value of more than 10 million yuan.
