The 2007 mulberry base project has finally found a landing ground in ShuanFeng, Huitong and Li county of Hunan Province. Chinese Government will provide funds of 2 million yuan and technological assistance to each of these mulberry bases.

　　The project was in operation since last year and aims to shift the production base of silk raw materials to Provinces located in the central and west of China. The project will optimize Chinese silkworm and mulberry industry and will increase the value of Chinese silk in the international market.

　　At present, Hunan province owns 113000 mu of mulberry plantation and it is planning to own 230000 mu of mulberry plantation by 2010.
