Dashoguz silk producers aim for 500 ton yield

Dashoguz silk producers aim for 500 ton yield

Post by : Shakul

Silk producers in Dashoguz velayat, located in northern Turkmenistan, have started an important seasonal campaign for silkworm cocoon production. This agricultural activity plays a major role in supporting the country’s textile industry and rural economy. The campaign is currently in full progress with large scale participation across the region.

This year, nearly 7,000 tenant farmers, along with 186 peasant farms and several farmers’ associations, are actively involved in the production process. The high level of participation shows the importance of silk farming in the region and the strong commitment of local producers to meet their production goals.

Farmers in Dashoguz have gained valuable experience over the years in raising silkworms successfully. They understand that producing high quality silk depends on careful management at every stage. This includes proper feeding of silkworm larvae and maintaining the right environmental conditions during their growth.

Special attention is given to maintaining suitable temperature and humidity levels in rearing facilities. These factors are very important for the healthy development of silkworms. Farmers also follow strict schedules to ensure that feeding and care are provided at the right time.

The quality of mulberry leaves, which serve as the main food source for silkworms, is also carefully monitored. Fresh and nutritious leaves help improve cocoon quality and increase overall production. Preventive measures are also taken to protect silkworms from diseases during the rearing period.

Thanks to strong government support and well developed infrastructure, farmers in the region are confident of achieving their production target. The goal for this year is to harvest 500 tons of raw silk material, which will be used in the domestic textile industry.

The region has also developed a strong base for silk production through large scale mulberry plantations. Thousands of hectares of land are covered with mulberry trees, ensuring a stable supply of food for silkworms throughout the season.

Each year, new saplings are planted along agricultural fields and near water sources to expand these plantations. This continuous effort supports the long term growth of the sericulture sector in Dashoguz.

Overall, the silk production campaign in Dashoguz velayat reflects the region’s dedication to agricultural development and its contribution to the national economy. With proper planning and favorable conditions, the region is expected to successfully achieve its target this year.
