On January 28, Suzhou's first factory-based artificial feed silkworm rearing project—the Zhongke Jianyuan Factory-based Artificial Feed Silkworm Rearing Project—was launched in Zhenze Town, Wujiang District. The project has a planned total investment of approximately 1 billion yuan. The currently operational first phase covers an area of 4.3 mu, with a building area of 1,500 square meters and an investment of about 13 million yuan. According to estimates, it can rear 15 batches of silkworm eggs in a single cycle, with an annual rearing capacity of 4,500 to 5,000 batches, producing around 220 tons of cocoons per year and generating direct economic benefits of up to 15 million yuan.

PriceSeek Analysis of Raw Silk, Bull-Bear Score: -1
The launch of this project, through factory-based artificial feed silkworm rearing, will produce 220 tons of cocoons annually, directly increasing the supply of raw silk materials. With relatively stable demand, the increase in supply may exert downward pressure on the spot price of raw silk, reflecting a generally bearish impact. The score is -1 (generally bearish), based on the project's medium scale (annual cocoon production of about 220 tons, economic benefits of 15 million yuan). It is expected to have a moderate negative impact on the market supply-demand balance but not to a significant extent.
