Mulberry industry boosted by efforts from State Grid Xiajin County Power Supply Company

To enhance its reputation as a member of the "Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems", the State Grid Xiajin County Power Supply Company organized team members to provide high-quality services there. They have been working on installing the 152 kilometers of power lines and 239 substations for various scenic areas and mulberry tree groves. This effort ensured that more than 720 wells in the mulberry tree groves were connected to electricity and will work well during harvest seasons. The efforts enabled irrigation in times of drought and doubled the mulberry fruit production.

A mulberry tree can be used in various products such as producing dry mulberries, cultivating phellinus igniarius (a kind of Chinese medicine), brewing mulberry fruit wine, stir-frying mulberry tea, making mulberry fruit cakes and processing mulberry leaf noodles. Xiajin now has more than 20 processing enterprises for mulberries and nearly 60 professional cooperatives and processing workshops. They are achieving full utilization from a single fruit to an entire mulberry tree. With the aim of empowering the industry and enhancing the service, State Grid Xiajin County Power Supply Company coordinated the entire industry, learned about the users' demands, collected feedback to provide high-quality services. Through regular visits, customized services and optimized measures, the company is supporting the economic development of the county and the vitalization of rural industries.
