The first batch of fresh cocoons has had a good harvest in this region, the purchasing price fluctuated between 700 yuan to 800 yuan per dan (50kg). Daily harvest of silkworm cocoons reached almost 50tons. Local agricultural technician said the cocoon quality this year was better than last year due to paper cocooning frame used largely in silkworm growing.
