Uzbek silkworm breeders plan to harvest cocoons 3 times a year
By Trend
Silkworm breeders in Uzbekistan’s Navoiy region plan to harvest cocoons three times a year, the Uzbek Labor Ministry said in a message Dec. 29.
Given that the silkworm breeders of China have experience in harvesting cocoons up to four times a year, silkworm breeders of the Navoiy region decided to use the knowledge of their Chinese counterparts.
For this purpose, a large investment project worth $2 million, designed for 5 years, is being implemented jointly by Uzbekistan’s Navoiy Ipak Kurti Urugi LLC and China’s Shandong Guantong Silkworm Eggs Corporation.
