Sericulturists of Lebap velayat successfully fulfill state plan for cocoon production
21 May. 12:25According to reports in the central press, raw material producers in the Lebap region successfully fulfilled their contractual obligations for the current season, delivering over 1010 tons of high-grade silkworm cocoons to the state. Attaining this macroeconomic target was driven by synchronized operational frameworks within agricultural associations and rigid compliance with technical standards. The productive campaign establishes a sustainable foundation for supplying the national textile manufacturing sector with valuable natural fiber.
At the launch of the spring cycle, specialized regional departments distributed 27,656 boxes of silkworm eggs to local leaseholders to initiate the seasonal cultivation layout. To guarantee the targeted procurement volumes, official commercial treaties were countersigned with 22,709 specialized agricultural entities across the province. The entire biological rearing phase was sustained under strict expert surveillance, ensuring systematic adherence to zootechnical and agrotechnical maintenance protocols.
The institutional performance review highlights the direct contributions of leading districts whose advanced metrics accelerated the realization of the combined regional quota. Absolute market leadership during this seasonal iteration was demonstrated by the sericulturists of the Charjew etrap, who successfully harvested and processed over 173 tons of premium-quality cocoons. Their operational model regarding optimized fodder base distribution and environmental temperature monitoring is recognized as a benchmark for wider integration.
Substantial labor productivity index values were also registered by leaseholders across other administrative sub-divisions of the velayat. Notably, a significant volume was contributed by the workforce of the Halach etrap, delivering more than 146 tons of raw materials, the Danew etrap with over 140 tons, and the Sayat etrap, whose collective output exceeded 132 tons. Modernization of the silk sector's infrastructure and prompt financial settlements with individual farmers served as core drivers for these elevated metrics.
