Karnataka records historic rise in high-quality silk production this quarter
Improved technology and farmer incentives have driven Karnataka's silk output to a record high this quarter.
Karnataka's silk sector recorded a notable increase in high-quality silk output this quarter, reaching a historic level.
The surge is attributed to the adoption of advanced sericulture technologies and government incentives provided to silk growers across the state.
Officials say the measures, including subsidies for mulberry cultivation and modern rearing practices, have boosted both yield and quality, positioning Karnataka as a leading silk producer in India.
The growth is expected to benefit the state's textile industry and export potential, creating additional income for farmers and related businesses.
The state plans to continue supporting sericulture with further research and financial schemes to sustain the upward trend.
