i would imagine that the new worm food would need to be indigenous to s/e asia



I don't think there is a need to create a silkworm with a non-mulberry diet that is going to be farmed in s/e asia. Mulberry is already a very cheap and fast growing crop. Unless, of course, they can create a line that eats waste from other large agricultural industries.

My guess (for the US engineered silkworm), they will use alfalfa, or some other fodder that is readily available in the upper midwest. Cattle and other livestock are fed plenty during the frozen months by shipping in feed. Identifying those available feeds and engineering your silkworms for those inputs would be the practical thing to do. It would be great to use ag waste but I won't hold my breath for it.

on the other hand, all the filing said was that the company will no longer be paying the mortgage for kim..(im paraphrasing)...it didnt say there would be no more mulberry grown there or that they wouldnt buy the leaves...



Kim sold the property on 4/16/2021 to someone named Posadas, indicating he is no longer interested in mulberry cultivation. And likely not interested in setting up a vacation home, or whatever the new spooky line is.

Fresh mulberry wasn't necessary for the company to create their genetic lines, it was only necessary for them to test the true properties of their fiber. That texas farm served it's purpose and is no longer needed.

yup...there would be no seasonality to it at all...it could all be done in warehouses...24/7...
