Hunan has a long history of mulberry planting and silkworm farming. Nowadays, Hunan has leveraged its advantages in resources for sericulture and sped up intelligent transformation to drive this industry to rejuvenate.

As one of the intelligent programs, the Yashilin Changsha (International) Silkworm Silk Intellectual Industry Project, funded by Zhongjian Xinke Sericulture Biotechnology Industry Co., Ltd., has realized an industrialized and digital cultivation of silkworms with multiple self-developed production lines and workshops.
