RESEARCHES CONCERNING PRODUCTION DIVERSIFICATION AND INTEGRATION IN ORDER TO INCREASE PROFITABILITY AND COMPETITIVENESS OF FAMILY SERICICULTURAL FARMS

Abstract

This study aimed to present different management variants for family sericicultural
farms .These variants assures family reproduction sericicultural integrated
management along production – processing – marketing chain, a larger range of
marketable products, a better marketing for unreeling cocoons, increased income
and profit for silk worm breede, a higher profitability and competitiveness of the
agricultural unit. The matrix of experimental variants combinations between
Mulberry tree culture and Silk worm rearing show that the most profitable
alternative is CD V3 + VM V2, which assures Lei 556,874 profit during the first
years of farm activity. The matrix of integrated combinative variants between
Mulberry the culture, Silk worm rearing and unreeling cocoons processing in
handicrafts (P5) show that the most profitable alternative is CDV3 + VMV1 + P5,
that is 0.5 ha mulberry tree plantation + 0.2 ha Seeding field + 0.1. ha Sowing field
1 + 0.2 ha Pricking out field, silk worm rearing for delivering 1,000 egg boxes, 10
kg silk filament, 25 kg fresh pupa and 1,298 Wowen belts, assuring Lei 504,336
profit during the 8 years of farm operating. No matter what variant of integrated
management is chosen by silk worm Breeders as long as economical and financial
perfomances are superior the ones which are obtained in case of the lack of
integration .
