The industry has an immense potential of generating employment for not less than (5) persons per acre throughout the year, both directly and indirectly.  An important feature of Sericulture industry is involvement of female labour for more than 60% in silkworm rearing and cocoon reeling, which are critical operations in the silk production.

       In Mahabubabad District Mulberry Cocoons is produced by the farmers. Mulberry cocoons are produced by raising mulberry plantations and conducting silk worm rearing in their holdings. The Department arrange the required inputs and extend technical guidance to the farmers from time to time. 

  • A preferred alternate cash crop to the water stressed areas.
  • Sericulture gets regular monthly income to the sericulture farmers.
    • Sericulture is a predominantly a women-centric and economic cash crop.
