(Baonghean.vn) - Dien Kim silk (Dien Chau) is famous throughout the country, so traders from everywhere come to order, and people cannot produce enough to sell. In addition to silk, by-products such as silkworm pupae and silkworm droppings are also in high demand. Thanks to that, the life of villagers on the banks of Lach Van river, although not rich, is always full...

Silkworm breeding and silk reeling are traditional occupations that have been associated with the villagers for hundreds of years. There are families with 5-7 generations following the profession.

bna_ông Trường.JPG — According to Mr. Nguyen Van Truong - Director of Dien Kim Agricultural and Sericulture Service Cooperative, Tien Tien village currently sells 30 tons of cocoons and 3.5 tons of silk thread to the market each year. Dien Kim silk provides brocade weaving materials for craft villages in the province, the northern provinces and neighboring Laos. "The market demand is very high but due to low output, it is not enough to meet the demand. Dien Kim silk is always out of stock" - Mr. Truong said. Photo: Thanh Phuc

bna_bà Đính.JPG — Not only the income from silk, by-products such as silkworm pupae are also very popular in the market. Every year, 15-17 tons of pupae are supplied to the market by the villagers. Photo: Thanh Phuc

bna_món ngon.jpg — From silkworm pupae, many delicious and nutritious dishes can be made such as: Crispy fried silkworm pupae, silkworm pupae patties, silkworm pupae stir-fried with lemon leaves... Tien Tien silkworm pupae are just ripe enough, not old and especially fresh, delicious, not soaked in water, not treated with chemicals, so they are very popular. Each month, silkworm pupae output is up to 1.2-1.5 tons but still not enough to meet the demand of the domestic market. Photo: Thanh Phuc
