Exactly, Rayo! Thanks for offering that.
I tried it another time and it took out more of the "strawberry" language but not all of it...
ONCE AGAIN, NOTE This is from an article from August 2018...
Than Ky Textile Company Limited (Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Company Branch - KBL, USA) just had a working session, presenting a mulberry planting project in Go Noi land before Dien Ban Town People's Committee; continue to open expectations about the revitalization of silk weaving nursery which once flourished in this land.
Shaping material areas
According to the introduction, when deployed, the project will have a scale of 100ha located in 3 communes of Dien Phong, Dien Trung and Dien Quang (Go Noi). According to Mr. Nguyen Duc Play - Head of Dien Ban town's economic department, the project will be implemented to make Go Noi area become one of the provinces with the biggest mulberry growing area in the province, to realize the dream of vocational rehabilitation. mulberry growing, silkworm raising, silk weaving, which once existed here. "Dien Ban town has developed a scheme to plan raw material areas along Thu Bon river including 3 Go Noi communes, Dien Hong, Dien Tho and Dien Phuoc communes, an area of ??about 500ha. Currently, pilot planting has been carried out for 3 ha in Thanh My village, Dien Quang commune "- Mr. Play said.
Previously, from May 2014, twelve farmers in Thanh My and Ben Den Tay (Dien Quang commune) were selected by Dien Quang Agriculture Cooperative to pilot the project of restoring the mulberry growing area (each household). 5 acres). The project is implemented by Dien Quang Agricultural Cooperative in collaboration with Hoi An Silk JSC. According to Mr. Cao Van Khanh (Ben Den Tay village), this project is expected by the local people because it not only opens new directions, creates livelihoods and income for people but also turns his dream and The households in Go Noi land became a reality. “In the past, there was a whole village of mulberry growing, raising silkworms and silk weaving. Particularly, my house planted more than 2ha, but because of many reasons, my job was lost, so when I heard about the project, I was very happy. In fact, everyone felt sorry in his heart, because the profession was associated with his grandparents for hundreds of years, now the dream of traditional job in Go Noi land has the chance to revive, why not happy ”- Mr. Khanh chia share.
Mr. Khanh said that compared to other crops such as peppers, corn, beans ..., mulberry cultivation is much more effective. However, the difficulty of growing mulberry is that the material area must be separate, not to be confused with other crops because when people pump medicine will affect the mulberry tree, silkworms will die. But according to Mrs. Tran Thi Bay (Ben Den Tay village), although it is not yet known how effective it is, the recovery of the mulberry trees still brings joy to her and the households in the village. All 12 households were in the mulberry growing group, so everyone was determined to work with the desire of his father's career to return to the old age. "Happy, but the most important is the product output, if the price is stable, everyone will do it. But now, only focus on preparing lush mulberry trees for silkworms alone "- Mrs. Seven confided.
Output prospects
The golden age of Go Noi mulberry took place nearly 30 years ago, almost every house is growing mulberry to raise silkworms, at least 1-2 ha, many growers sometimes up to hundreds of hectares. Only in the period from 1987 to 1992, each year Dien Quang commune exported to the market nearly 20 tons of silk, in the village always busy with the sound of weaving silk. However, during the period of 1993 to 1996, the area of ??mulberry cultivation narrowed. Today, even in Go Noi area, only one household still grows mulberry to raise silkworms but not to reel silk, but it mainly takes silkworms ... selling pubs.
Mr. Phan Tin - Deputy Director of Dien Quang Agricultural Cooperative said that in order to revive the trade village, the cooperative cooperated with the Commune People's Committee to conduct land allocation for mulberry farmers to raise silkworms. In the immediate future, it will be piloted 3 ha, expected to plant another 20 ha in the winter-spring season, aiming to recover 150ha in the next two years. Although newly planted for more than 3 months, most of the mulberry trees have turned green, promising high-yield harvests. “Each household participating in the project will be provided with a pumping well and installed an electricity meter by the cooperative to facilitate the collection of mulberry water. In addition, the cooperative also supports each of 20kg NPK fertilizer. Central Mulberry Company supports free GQ2 strawberry variety; When there are cocoons, the company continues to support hot water, at the same time buying products with a minimum price of 145 thousand VND / kg cocoon, an average of 5 sao will give 30kg cocoon / litter ”. According to Mr. Phan Tin, with this way, farmers can only care for and raise silkworms. Particularly, silkworm-like eggs provided by cooperatives when they are cocooned will deduct the price or support mechanism. Striving from here to the end of the year, there will be 1-2 first silkworms (one batch of 22-25 days), when the harvest is stable, people will get about 7-8 batches of cocoons each year.
Comparison shows that the effectiveness of mulberry trees is 5 - 10 times higher than other crops and rice. Especially, attaching to environmental protection because of not using pesticides. Not to mention, mulberry trees have a great effect in protecting the land, each season floods mulberry trees lying down to embrace the soil and accumulate silt and prevent landslides. Mr. Le Thai Vu - Chairman of the Board, General Director of Hoi An Silk JSC affirmed that, in addition to the high determination of the local government, the price and market of product output will ensure a good basis for Strawberry planting in Dien Ban silkworm in particular as well as in Quang Nam revival. Over the past time, besides organizing visits for households, learning experiences on mulberry growing in Bao Loc (Lam Dong), enterprises have also collaborated with the province to survey material areas in districts. Dai Loc, Duy Xuyen, Dien Ban. "In the immediate future, the unit will coordinate with authorities and people in Dien Quang commune to experiment in Go Noi 5ha. After evaluating the results will continue to expand to more regions. The current advantage is that in addition to having many new varieties for high productivity as well as modern silkworm breeding, we have also cooperated with the Central Center for Mulberry Research to transfer technology on how to raise silkworms, Strawberry planting for relatives. In particular, businesses will also be responsible for the output, so I believe the prospect of recovering this job is very large, ”Mr. Vu said.
