Return(VOVWORLD) - In recent years, the ethnic minority-inhabited areas in the Central Highlands province of Lam Dong have planted newer, more profitable crops under a policy of crop restructuring that encourages farmers to abandon their old habit of growing only rice or coffee. Sericulture, or silk farming, is boosting local incomes, helping many households escape poverty.
越南之聲——位于越南中部的林同省是越南最主要的蠶桑絲織產(chǎn)區(qū)。近年來(lái)，該省的少數(shù)民族聚居區(qū)根據(jù)政府“作物結(jié)構(gòu)調(diào)整”的政策開始改換種植品種，選擇收益更高的作物進(jìn)行種植，該政策鼓勵(lì)農(nóng)民改掉原先只種植水稻或咖啡的習(xí)慣，其中，種桑養(yǎng)蠶正是這樣一種收益更高的生產(chǎn)模式，許多家庭因此擺脫貧困，收入得以提高。
受益于種桑養(yǎng)蠶，越南林同省的許多少數(shù)民族家庭擺脫貧困，改善了生活條件
Since the family of Ka Loan of Lam Ha district converted their coffee farm into a silk farm, their living conditions have markedly improved. Loan said a box of cocoons profits her family about 440 USD a month.
林同省林河縣的某鎮(zhèn)居民將他們的咖啡種植場(chǎng)改建為蠶桑園以來(lái)，他們的生活條件明顯改善。據(jù)介紹，飼養(yǎng)一盒蠶種每月可收入約440美元。
In the last two months of 2021, the price of cocoons increased to nearly 8.9 USD per kilo, ensuring the family a prosperous Lunar New Year Festival, Tet.
在2021年的最后兩個(gè)月，蠶繭的價(jià)格上漲至每公斤近8.9美元，使這個(gè)家庭過(guò)了一個(gè)好年。
“My family only has a few hundred square meters of land for growing rice and coffee. Our coffee trees produced only about three or four hundred kilos. Since we replaced the low-yield coffee trees with mulberry, we’ve started to earn considerably more money,” said Loan.
“我家只有幾百平方米的土地用于種植水稻和咖啡。這些咖啡樹只能生產(chǎn)大約三四百公斤的咖啡。自從用桑樹取代低產(chǎn)量的咖啡樹以來(lái)，我們掙到了更多的錢，”Loan說(shuō)。
The family of K’Du of Di Linh district has also benefited from breeding silkworms. K’Du told VOV that since he learnt the trade at classes offered by the district Farmers’ Association, his income has increased.
夷靈縣的K'Du一家也從養(yǎng)蠶中受益。K'Du告訴越南之聲自從他在區(qū)農(nóng)民協(xié)會(huì)開班的培訓(xùn)班中學(xué)習(xí)了這項(xiàng)技術(shù)，他的收入增加了。
He said selecting hybrid mulberry varieties with high yields and good quality was a decisive factor in boosting productivity. Silkworm cocoons earn his family more than 880 USD a month.
他說(shuō)，選擇高產(chǎn)量和優(yōu)質(zhì)雜交桑樹品種是提高生產(chǎn)力的決定性因素。蠶繭每月為他的家人創(chuàng)收超過(guò)880美元。
“Thanks to the funding of the district Farmers’ Association to set up the necessary facility, plus my family’s land for mulberry plantation, our living conditions have been more stable. Each crop produces half a box of cocoons and I plan to expand the mulberry growing area,” said K’Du.
“感謝區(qū)農(nóng)民協(xié)會(huì)的撥款為我們興建了必要的設(shè)施，再加上種桑養(yǎng)蠶，我們的生活條件更加穩(wěn)定了?，F(xiàn)在每季飼養(yǎng)半盒蠶種，我已經(jīng)在計(jì)劃擴(kuò)大桑樹的種植面積，”
K’Du說(shuō)。Sericulture has spread from Lam Ha and Di Linh district to other ethnic minority-inhabited areas in Lam Dong province.
不僅在林河和夷靈，種桑養(yǎng)蠶模式也在林同省的其他少數(shù)民族地區(qū)大力開展起來(lái)。
Bui Thi Thanh Huyen, Deputy Chairwoman of a Farmers’ Association in Bao Lam district, said the model has helped many ethnic minority households escape poverty. Some have become quite well-off.
保林縣農(nóng)民協(xié)會(huì)副主席Bui Thi Thanh Huyen表示，該模式已經(jīng)幫助許多少數(shù)民族家庭擺脫了貧困。有些人已經(jīng)變得相當(dāng)富裕。
“Most local ethnic people are growing mulberries and raising silkworms because the harvest cycle is short. Two boxes of silkworms produce 100 kilos of cocoons, which currently sell for about 930 USD, but it only costs 53 USD for the production materials. It’s very easy to grow mulberries. Farmers only need to apply fertilizer twice a year, but they can harvest the leaves continuously,” said Huyen.
“因?yàn)槭斋@周期短，大部分當(dāng)?shù)厣贁?shù)民族正在種桑養(yǎng)蠶。兩盒蠶種能產(chǎn)出100公斤蠶繭，目前售價(jià)約為930美元，但生產(chǎn)成本只需53美元（數(shù)據(jù)來(lái)源于原文）。桑樹易于種植，而農(nóng)民每年只需施兩次肥，就可以持續(xù)收獲桑葉，"Huyen說(shuō)。
Following the initial success of the model, the Lam Dong provincial People’s Committee has approved a five-year plan for the local sericulture industry, which hopes to have 10,000 hectares of mulberry farms yielding 210,000 tons of mulberry leaves by 2023. That’s enough to produce 14,500 tons of cocoons and 1,900 tons of silk a year.
在該模式取得初步成功之后，林同省人民委員會(huì)批準(zhǔn)了關(guān)于當(dāng)?shù)匦Q桑業(yè)的一個(gè)“五年計(jì)劃”，該計(jì)劃力爭(zhēng)到2023年擁有15萬(wàn)畝的桑園面積并產(chǎn)出21萬(wàn)噸桑葉。這將實(shí)現(xiàn)年產(chǎn)1.45萬(wàn)噸蠶繭和1900噸生絲。
