Famers are leaving the sugarcane fields and are now putting their investment on silk farming. This is the only regular income that comes monthly to the farmers and can provide 10 thousand rupees. Rice and ragi come after many months of work and for sugarcane, they just hope they will be paid last year’s harvest.
Sericulture, or silk farming, is the rearing of silkworms for the production of silk. ….. Silk was first produced in China as early as the Neolithic period.[1] Sericulture has become an important cottage industry in countries such as Brazil, China, France, India, Italy, Japan, Korea, and Russia. Today, China and India are the two main producers, with more than 60% of the world’s annual production.
