In a bid to improve silkworm cocoon industry, China Commerce Bureau plans to support nine silkworm cocoon production areas under a project 'West shift of East Mulberry'.
The project includes 200 huge silkworm mulberry bases, which will form nine new silkworm cocoon production areas, focusing on central and west China.
Major provinces include Guangxi, Jiangxi, Sinkiang, Liaolin, Sichuan and others. Guangxi has replaced Jiangsu province to be the first in silkworm cocoon industry.
Government of China will supply special funds and necessary support to carry out this project.
