50tons/ha/year would be an amazing yield. It looks like Vietseri has developed some great hybrid strains. With that kind of yield, just the province of Quang Nam could support the production of over 1000 tons of finished silk per year with their 2500ha of mulberry. Not sure how much is carved out for Quang Nam Silk JSC, but I would imagine that they couldnt pay farmers a premium since their silk won't sell for a premium. It will be interesting to see which other provinces decide to participate. I wonder if Lam Dong will crawl back if they see KBL cutting into their sales.

Also, just for clarification for those interested, once a clone (trimming) is planted, it takes about 6 months before it can be harvested. After that, the root system is in place and the new shoots will grow from the stump with the ability to be harvested every 2 months.
