In order to create new mulberry gardens on the territory of the Gabala region, it is planned to plant 50 thousand units of mulberry seedlings out of 1 million brought to our country from China.

In addition, in order to strengthen the nutritional base of sericulture in the autumn season, 140 thousand units of local mulberry seedlings are planted in the region. Work in this direction has already begun, and in a short time, 59 thousand units of mulberry seedlings were planted. The largest number of seedlings was planted in the Vandam settlement, Bayramkokhaly, Tyuntyul, Bunud, Kurd and Soltannukha villages, as well as a number of other villages where silkworm breeding is a traditional economic sector.
