Officials of the Sericulture and Silk Production Guidance Bureau and provincial sericultural sectors, with a high goal to make a fresh upswing in cocoon production this year, have found themselves in cocoon farms and properly carried on organizational and political works to harvest cocoons in time without any waste.
