Thanks SZ. Knowing there were some issues with mulberry/feed in the past, if a network of smaller farmers are being used, any reason to believe feed/mulberry could be an issue again?

Or would this be a network of contracted farmers who either receive feed/mulberry from KBLB or are directed on where to source from?

One other thought on this: could it be the “more robust” iterations now being used are more resistant to feed issues in addition to their increased size, etc? Maybe this is what the work from 2023 helped to resolve?

As was suggested by someone else, maybe the spring trials are in part looking at these issues so, when they go “live”, they will have selected the proper combination of inputs to ensure we get the output sought.

Interesting times…

Where did the robustness issue present itself? as early as the hatchery? More at every stage? Or mostly just at the contractor/farmer stage?

“then sends those out to smaller contractors”

This essentially means households/families that grow mulberry and raise silkworms?…my understanding is that there are many thousands of these small family operations…

And my understanding is that in the Lam Dong area, sericulture is not seasonal…it can be conducted year round…is that correct?…

And Kblb will follow this proceedure?…eggs to hatcheries, worms to small farmers, cocoons to reelers/spinners?…

So then the new facility in Lam Dong is truly just a warehouse/distribution center?
