Silk Industry Takes New Steps Under The "14Th Five Year Plan" Structural Adjustment

In order to promote the high-quality development of cocoon and silk industry, in September 2021, the Ministry of Commerce issued the guiding opinions on the development of cocoon and silk industry during the 14th Five Year Plan period, which requires speeding up the construction of a modern industrial system, promoting the coordinated innovation and development of the primary, secondary and tertiary industrial chains of cocoon and silk, assisting Rural Revitalization and opening up a new era of high-quality development of China's cocoon and silk industry, To lay the foundation for realizing the strategic goal of "Silk power".

Subsequently, some major producing provinces (districts and cities) of cocoon and silk industry successively issued the "14th five year plan" development plan. From the new measures launched and the new layout carried out, many new trends of high-quality development can be explored.

　　 New steps have been taken in structural adjustment

"The family has three acres of mulberry, get rich and go to a well-off life.". In recent years, such a saying has been circulated in many silkworm areas in Guangxi, which has led to a number of new sericulture villages and large farmers. As an important cocoon production and silk processing base in China, Guangxi's cocoon and raw silk output has ranked first in China for many years.

At present, there are 93 silk processing enterprises in Guangxi, including 76 silk reeling enterprises, 10 silk reeling and silk weaving enterprises, 6 silk weaving enterprises and 1 silk quilt and home textile enterprise. A modern silkworm industry system integrating primary, secondary and tertiary industries and synchronous vertical and horizontal development has been preliminarily established.

"The 14th five year plan" for the development of sericulture industry in Guangxi puts forward that by 2025, Guangxi will build the sericulture industry into an industry of 80 billion yuan, of which the output value of the primary, secondary and tertiary industries will reach 30 billion yuan, 35 billion yuan and 15 billion yuan respectively.

In order to achieve this goal, Guangxi is planning to use a series of measures to guide the industrial elements to further gather in the advantageous areas with Yizhou and Liuzhou as the core, accelerate the construction of the whole industrial chain cluster and improve the quality of development during the "14th five year plan".

Specifically, Guangxi will actively promote the development of sericulture production in Hechi, Baise, Nanning, Liuzhou and Laibin, jointly build Yizhou and Liuzhou cocoon and silk industrial chain cluster area, and vigorously expand the diversified application of silkworm cocoon and silk resources in the main sericulture production areas and rocky desertification areas.

Cocoon and silk industry is the traditional characteristic advantage industry and livelihood industry of Sichuan. Statistics from Sichuan Provincial Department of Commerce show that during the 13th Five Year Plan period, more than 1 million people from 19 cities (prefectures), 95 counties (districts) in Sichuan Province were engaged in cocoon and silk industry; The total output value was 177.75 billion yuan, nearly 20% higher than that during the 12th Five Year Plan period; Liangshan, Mianyang, Yibin and other places have become China's high-quality raw materials supply base.

For the cocoon and silk industry during the "14th five year plan", Sichuan also carried out "zoning" development. According to the guiding opinions on the development of cocoon and silk industry in Sichuan Province during the 14th Five Year Plan period, Sichuan Province will promote the development of sericulture industry to three major cocoon and silk industry belts of Panxi, southern Sichuan and central and Northern Sichuan and 30 key sericulture counties; Guide the cultural and creative industries to develop intensively in Chengdu, Nanchong and other key areas, and create a number of silk Characteristic Towns and cultural and creative industry cluster areas, etc; We will promote the centralized development of silk industry and strive to expand 10 modern industrial parks in Chengdu, Nanchong, Liangshan, Mianyang, Yibin and Guang'an.

At the same time, Sichuan will actively participate in the division of labor in domestic and international industrial chains, including making good use of the cooperation mechanism between the East and the west of Zhejiang and Sichuan, taking the initiative to undertake the industrial transfer in the East, accelerating the construction of regional open cooperative industrial bases in Sichuan Chongqing, Sichuan Guangxi, Sichuan Yunnan and other western regions, and the docking and cooperation industry undertaking platform between Chengdu and Chongqing, so as to attract the overall settlement of high-quality enterprise production bases, To promote the coordinated transfer of its related industries to Sichuan.

Chongqing is located in the southwest of China. Historically, it is an important sericulture production area with solid industrial foundation. According to the 14th five year plan for the development of sericulture and silk industry in Chongqing issued by Chongqing Municipal Commission of Commerce and other eight departments, Chongqing will focus on promoting the silk industry to stabilize and strengthen the chain. Introduce a number of key enterprises to develop twisting, silk spinning, printing and dyeing, real silk knitting, and silk terminal product processing, solve the bottleneck of development and make up for the short board of industrial chain. We will promote the construction of silk industry clusters, support the main producing areas and counties to create 2-3 silk characteristic industrial parks, and cultivate 3-5 leading enterprises with independent brands and export capacity.

It is worth mentioning that during the "14th five year plan" period, Sichuan and Chongqing will work together to build a 100 billion class sericulture and silk industry cluster. To be specific, it is necessary to create a modern silk Park and industrial belt in the adjacent areas of Sichuan and Chongqing, promote the upgrading of sericulture and silk industry in key districts and counties such as Qianjiang, Fuling, Fengjie, Wulong, Hechuan, Jiangjin, Tongnan, Dazu, Yunyang and Wuxi, deepen the industrial cooperation with Sichuan Nanchong, Mianyang, Yibin and other major production areas, and jointly build the protection base of silkworm germplasm resources in Western China The base for regulating the production and supply of high-quality silkworm eggs, the production base for high-quality cocoon silk and the demonstration base for the industrialization of sericulture resources will jointly create a 100 billion class sericulture and silk industrial cluster.

　　 Scientific and technological innovation to a new level

The high-tech power behind the high-quality development of the industry is indispensable. "The 14th five year plan" for the development of sericulture and silk industry in Chongqing clearly puts forward to enhance the technological innovation ability of the industry. It includes: making full use of the comprehensive strength of universities, research institutes, R & D platforms, industrial technology system, enterprise research institutions and high-tech talents and teams in Chongqing sericulture and silk industry, strengthening the tackling of key technology problems in common industry, solving the difficulties, pain points and blocking points in industrial development, and promoting the efficient and innovative development of sericulture and silk industry.

In addition, Chongqing will improve the sericulture and silk technology innovation system, establish and improve the pilot incubation and demonstration promotion system of scientific and technological achievements, and support the demonstration and application of new products, new technologies and new equipment. We will support the integrated development of industry, University, research and application, build intelligent sericulture research bases and silk application research institutions, support the municipal sericulture science and Technology Research Institute to build branches in the main production areas and counties, and the municipal sericulture industry technology system to build scientific research and experimental demonstration sites in main production areas and counties, and guide scientific and technological talents and innovation teams to gather in parks, bases and enterprises, Enabling the development of sericulture industry.

"The fourteenth five year plan" for the development of sericulture industry in Guangxi has made it clear that the application of new varieties, new technologies and new models should be increased. Combined with the application of the new generation of information technology, we will build a new mode of digital sericulture development, such as the Internet of things, smart sericulture and cloud platform, so as to improve the level of mechanization, digitization and intelligence of sericulture production.

As a manufacturing industry, cocoon and silk industry also needs digital transformation. The guiding opinions on the development of Sichuan cocoon and silk industry during the "14th five year plan" clearly stated that the construction of digital silk should be accelerated.

Based on this, Sichuan Province will implement the "enterprise cloud" project, promote the action of "cloud application and digital intelligence", build a digital empowerment and industrial Internet platform for silk industry, and promote the transformation of traditional production to "manufacturing + service". Accelerate the digital application of R & D and design, production and manufacturing, business management and market service, and improve the system integration level of cocoon and silk production line; With the Internet of things, intelligent sensors and other network technology to transform the enterprise production site, accurate docking of external supply chain and internal production system.

In addition, Sichuan Province will accelerate the construction of cocoon and silk trading market and trading index release, Nanchong center, China silk index release and other market platforms. We will cultivate a number of intelligent manufacturing pilot demonstration enterprises, speed up the research and development of intelligent silk reeling equipment such as cocoon selection, cocoon cooking and short process, increase the investment in non shuttle weaving and digital equipment for preparation process, reconstruct and expand a batch of intelligent silk reeling and weaving production lines, and explore the construction of intelligent workshops and factories.
