The first batch of spring silkworms in Yizhou of Guangxi entered the fourth instar, and a small number entered the fifth instar.

With the cocoons coming into the market in Xuwen, Yunfu, Yangchun and other places in Guangdong Province, some silk reeling enterprises have begun to sample the first batch of fresh cocoons this year. Recently, new cocoons were loaded into the market, and the price is about 10000 yuan / ton (depending on the grade). The loading price of fresh pupae from factories in Guangxi and Guangdong: class a 10000-11000 yuan / ton, class B 9000-10000 yuan / ton, class C 8000-9000 yuan / ton.

In terms of exports, according to customs statistics, 370.832 tons of fresh pupae were exported in January this year, with the value of 798332 US dollars. 628 tons of dry and wet pupae, worth 588120 US dollars. In February, 104.5 tons of fresh pupae were exported, with a value of US $234700. The export of dry and wet pupae is 327.826 tons, with the value of 519359 US dollars.

Business analysts believe that the current downstream procurement is generally cautious, especially the transaction of high-quality raw silk is less, the purchase quantity is controlled, and the sales inventory is the main, which limits the space for the current spring cocoon purchase price to rise again. In the case that the terminal demand and the supply situation of the new cocoon season are not clear, the price increase of cocoon silk will narrow down.
