Silk seed production in Pakistan
Silk seed production in Pakistan
K. M. Siddiqui
ABSTRACT
Sericulture has been practiced profitably in Pakistan for a long time by a large
number of rural people. It has, however, not gone beyond a minor cottage industry due
to lack of knowledge of modern and scientific techniques for production of commercial
silk seed, absence of adequate mulberry plantations, non-existence of local training
facilities and constraints in processing and marketing of silk cocoons and raw silk. The
prices of cocoons also fluctuate considerably from year to year, thus adversely affecting
economic returns to the farmers.
