you forget that the local sourced mulberry is not their only food source only a supplement. So they are planning for many more silkworms 70% more

maybe more because he says "as much as 30%" which could be a high point.

The Company expects to see an improvement in materials performance and a reduction in production costs by as much as 30% through the use of locally sourced mulberry.




- 14 acres x 4,000 trees/acre = 56,000 trees.

- 56,000 trees x 2 kg/tree = 112,000 kg of mulberry per harvest


- 112,000 kg mulberry / 1,500 kg needed per 8 kg silk = 74.67 kg x 8 kg of silk = 597.33 kg of silk per harvest.



--added 70% more food
373,333 kg mulberry/ 1,500 kg needed per 8 kg silk = 248.89 * 8 kg
of silk = 1991.11 kg of silk per harvest.



- 3-5 harvests a year, so 3 x 597.33 kg = 1792 kg and 5 x 597.33 kg = 2986.67 kg



- 3-5 harvests a year, so 3 x 1991.11 kg = 5973.33 kg and 5 x 1991.11 kg = 9955.55 kg

bottom line 6.5 tons to 11 metric tons of silk annually
