2.0 Background:

lndia is the second largest silk producer nlxt only to China, with a unique distinction of producing allthevarieties of silk, i.e., Mulberry, Tasar, Muga, and Eri. The national annual mulberry silk production is

20,434 MTs (2015-16). Karnataka is thc leading mulberry silk producing State with an annual silkproduction of 9,823 MTs (2015-15) contributing 48% of total silk production.

Sericulture is an agro-based cottage industry with key rural employment generation potential.Sericulture involves mulberry cultivation and silk worm rearing, to produce Cocoons at the farmers level,and reeling of cocoons, at the reelers level, to produce raw silk.

Cocoon processing to produce silk is called reeling and further related activities include twisting of rawsilk, dyeing and weaving silk fabric etc., Farrncrs, unskillr-.d and skilled labourers, reelers, twisters, dyersand weavers are dependent on domestic sericulture.

The farm and non-farm activities create employnrent, to nearly 70 to 80 lakh men and women everyyear, mostly in rural lndia. ln the state of l(arnataka Mulberry is cultivated in about 90,000 hectares with1.30 lakh farmers engaged rn silkworm rearing and 2-5,000 reeling workforce is engaged in silk cocoonreeling.

Kolar, Chikkaballapura, Ramanagara, Mandya, t3angalore Rural, Tumkur are the major sericulturedistricts contributing 90% of the cocoon production in the State. lmportant Sericulture statistics of thestate during past 3 years is furnished in Annexure-1 and district wise production details during past 10

years are furnished in Annexure- 2.

The total volume of the silk industry in Karnatal<a in terms of direct tran:;action of cocoons, raw silk etc.,is of the order of Rs.3000 crore at current prices. Raw silk produced in the State is highly valued for itslustre and appeal, thereby contributing a trade voiume of nrore than Rs.25000 crore in textile sector.

The demand from the silk industry, in competitivr,, markets, is bulk quantity of graded silk. Therefore,developmental focus is on quality gradable silk production. Technology transfer and training support are

adequately in place to educate both the farmers and the r.eelers. Several beneficiary programmes are

implemented to facilitate qualitrT production. Certain equipment and technology products are also made

available to the farmers and reelers under various subsidy programmes. A glimpse of various subsidyprogrammes implemented particularly during the past 3 years is furnished in Annexure * 3.

Research and Development activities arr: well organized to meet both Mulberry and Silkwormvarietalfrace improvement and Reeling Iechnology Development. Numerous Projects, Programmes and

Schemes are implemented ciuring last 3 to 4 decades to focus on quality improvement as well as

prod uctivity.

2.1Cocoon Marketing:

There is a well established Cocoon Marketing System. Tlre State has 34 commercial Cocoon Markets in

different cocoon production areas. Cocoon markets are mostly located in the major reeling centers.

Ramanagara, Siddlagatta, l(ollegala, Vijayapura, Kanakpaura, I(olar, Channapatna, H.cross, Chintamani

and Chikkaballapura are the ten major Cocoon Markets. Cocoon markets attract cocoon arrivals from all

over the state including neighbr:ring States. During favourable seasons, on a daily basis, up to 150-160

MTs of cocoons are transacted and daily average cocoon transaction value amounts to Rs.4.0 to 5.0

crore. Recently automation and electronic cocoon sale (e-auction) systems have been introduced in a

few major cocoon markets. Cocoon market arrivals and price trencjs over the years are given inAnnexure-4. Variety-wise cocoon transaction details are given in Annexure- 5.

Sericulture Department compiles data on daily cocoon market and silk exchange prevailing prices.

Similarly, the CSB compiles and publishes the daily Silk Bulletin furnishing state-wise details of cocoon

and raw-silk prices and also prices of raw-silk imported from China.

Cocoon Quality Assessment (CQA) programme is also initiated recently for assaying cocoons and

educate and motivate the farmers for quality production by way of rearing technology adoption and

upgradation.

2.2 Silk Reeling:

Karnataka has a tradition of silk reeling. Reeling is a labour-intensive activity requiring certain skills.

About 25000 reeling workers are engaged in silk production. The reeling is, by and large, a household

backyard cottage industry in the state.

The entire cocoon arrivals in the markets are purchased by the reelers and the end product - raw silk is

produced. During congenial peak cocoon production season, collectively on a daily basis about 20 to 25

MTs of raw silk is produced.

During the reeling process, the cocoon shell is taken out as raw silk thread and silk waste and Jute. The

larger remaining portion of cocoon is the pupal waste which accounts for nearly 80 per cent of the total

cocoon quantity produced. Environmentally safe pupal waste disposal needs attention.

The ratio of raw silk to cocoon is termed Renditta. Renditta depends on cocoon quality which in turn is

largely determined by Mulberry leaf quality, silkworm race, quality disease free Layings (DFLs), good

chawki, silk worm rearing technology and management.

Environmental conditions also influence cocoon quality and consequentlythe reeling quality. However,

to a great extent the adverse environmental effect on cocoon quality can be minimized by good rearing

practices. At every stage of cocoon production activity, the new technology and rearing management

play a great role.

Cocoon reeling is undertaken on different reeling methods. Traditionally, the primitive Charaka and

slightly mechanisied Cottage Basin as well as lmproved Cottage Basin. The State has diffeient types ofreeling devices namely Charaka, Cottage Basin, Multiend reeling and also automatic reeling machines.

The more mechanized automatic reeling machine (ARM) is a very recent introduction. Reeling

infrastructure engaged in reeling in the state is furnished in Annexure-6.

About 70 per cent of the state's raw silk production comes from Charaka and Cottage Basins which

engage highly skilled reelers. They are traditional manual units producing varying quality standards

solely dependent on the skill of the reeler. Charaka silk, although not gradable, is having its own niche

market mainly in Handloom weaving centres of Southern lndia.

Cottage Basins produce finer to coarser raw silk ranging from 1,4/16 to 35/40 denier, catering tohandloom sector mainly in weaving units of Northern lndia and both are used as Weft.

Multi-end units are improved versions of Cottage Basin and produce Bivoltine gradable raw silk used forboth Weft and Warp. The Automatic Reeling Machines are highly sophisticated and each of 400 end

units can handle 700 Kgs of Bivoltine cocoons daily with a production capacity of 100 Kgs raw silk per

day. The State is promoting ARM and MERM units to create additional Bivoltine reeling capability and

district wise details of Multi End Reeling Machines and Automatic Reeling Machines (ARM) are furnished

in Annexure-7. The ARM silk is of lnternational grade and can substitute imports of silk. There is a need

to replace a part of the existing cross-breed production with improved cross breeds, which can be reeled

on the Multi-end and automatic reeling machineries.

Presently, 30% ol raw silk in the State is produced on Charakas,4OYo on Cottage Basins and 30% on

MERMs and ARMs. lt is necessary to develop the industry with a focus on quality improvement so that,in the ensuing 4 to 5 years 70% of the total raw silk production of the State would be from MERMs and

ARMs which will be of superior grade.

The main emphasis of reeling development is the production of lnternational quality grade silk, Efforts in

this direction include machinery upgradation and also combine introduction of new process

technologies and development of skilled reelers / workforce through capacity building in reeling.

ln this direction sev4-'ral programmes, with capital support apart from technology upgardation have been

implemented to improve and modernise reeling development in the state. There are different schemes

including providing investments, creation of infrastructure, pu,chase of machinery and other essential

inputs" Details furnished in Annexure -8. The reelers were iilso encouraged by extending One Time

Settlement (OTS) of their reeling loan bad-debt settlement with various industrial banks and commercial

banks. Details furnished in Annexure -9.

2.3 Raw Silk Marketing:

Generally the bulk of raw silk prroduced within the country is non-gradable. However recent Bivoltine

development and expansion coupled with reeling technology development is making progress in thedirection of quality gradable sill< production in the silk producing states (?-?-%|. Out of 9823 MTs of raw

silk produced in the State, 1334 MTs are Bivoltinc Silk (1.4%\. This proportion is gradually expected toi ncrease.

To support raw silk marketing, silk testing centers are operated by the Central Silk Board (CSB). llecently

the state government has come up with a proposal to widen the silk testing centre network by

establishing silktesting centers, in collaboration with thc CSB, in allthe major reeling clusters.

The State has organized silk exchanges in major reeling centers to facilitate raw silk sales. lt was

mandatory for the reelers to transact the silk only in the silk exchanges under the provisions of the

Karnataka Silkworm Seed, Cocoon and Silk Yarn (llegulation of production, Supply Distribution and Sale)

Act, 1959. This was backed by Silk enforcement. However with the Central Silk Board Act (Amendment)

2006, the Silk Exchange transaction became optional. The silk exchange transaction drastically reduced.

However, presently only about 29% ol raw silk is transacted in the silk exchanges. Details of silk

transaction before and after the Central Act are furnished in Annexure- L0. The reelers often have

direct raw silk sale linkages with their clients.

Nearly 70 lo 75% of raw silk produced in the State is transacted through open market. There is an

extensive network of local level informal raw silk aggregation mechanisms which is not well understood.

2.4 Silk Weaving and Silk Supply:

Both the handloom weavers and the power looms consume raw silk. State-wise raw silk production and

consumption particulars are furnished in Annexure *LL.

There are about 2.5 to 3.0 lakh handlooms and 65,000 to 75,000 power looms which are engaged

exclusively in silk weaving in the Country. ln Karnataka, there are about 1"0,000 silk handlooms and

30,000 powerlooms which require about 8,000 MTs of silk per annum. The surplus silk produced in the

State is mostly consumed by other States like Tamilnadu, Andhra PraCesh, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh,

etc.

Bengaluru is known for silk marketing and quality silk is available in required quantity. The major

weaving centers in the State are Bengaluru, Anel<al, Melukote, Molakalmuru, Y.N.Hoskote, Kollegal,

Doddaballapura,Guledgudda, Gadag-Betageri, Ramadurga, llakal, Rabhakavi-Banahatt.etc., Presently,

surplus silk from Bengaluru is being purchased by the following weaving clusters of the country.

1. Anadhra-Pradesh2. Tamilnadu3. Ke ra la

4. West Bengal

5. Assam

6. Uttar-Pradeshl. Uttarakhand8. Jammu & Kashmir

Dharmavaram, Pochampalli, Madanapalli, Gadwal, etc.,Kanchi, Arni, Kumbakonam, etc.,Palgat, KannurBankura, Birhum, Murshidabad, Bishnupur, etc.,Sualkuchi, Jajari, G hilamara, Goa lapa ra, Guwahati, etc.,Va ra nasi

MubarakpurJammu, Sringar

Raw-silk is generally sold on demand often directly to consumption points. Some retail outlets are

operating in major handloom centers like Kanchi, Salem, Jangam, Pochampalli, llkal, Guledgudda,

Bangalore etc, but the quantity involved in retail trade is very insignificant. Surat and Varanasi are the

major Zari - lacing of raw silk thread with Silver Gold dust - production centres.

Apart from silk from Karnataka, above centers including Karnataka import silk of particular quality for

specific warp/weft usage. There is a great potentialto improve the silk production in the State, in orderto avoid imports.

State agencies like KSMB, TANSILK, SERIFED etc are involved In procuring and marketing of Rawsilk. The

Karnataka Silk Marketing Board (KSMB) procures about 3% raw silk directly from the reelers in Silk

exchanges. Details of raw silk purchased by KSMB are furnished in Annexure-L2. Similarly Textile and

handloom Corporations of different States facilitate the silk weavers operating various programmes tosupply raw silk to weaver societies. Details are furnished in Annexure -1.3. The Handloom Development

Corporation of GOI is operating Mlll Gate Subsidy Scheme incentivising the raw silk supply to weavers

and weaver societies.

2.5 Reeler Cooperatives:

Efforts to Organise the reeler coperatlves to support reeling and address raw silk marketing issues have

met with limited success. Almost 95% of the reeler cooperative societies have become defunct so also is

the Karnataka Silk Marketing Federation. Details of Sericulture co-operative societies are furnished in

Annexure-l4. Government intervention by way of Raw Silk Pledge Loan programme has not made much

dent in motivating the reelers to make the cooperatives vigorous. Details of Pledge Loan to Silk reelers

are furnished in Annexure- 15. A separate study is commissioned recently, during 2016,in collaborationwith the Regional lnstitute of Cooperative Management (RICM), Bangalore to diagnose the issues and

recommend ways and means to make the societies functional. A proposal is under active considerationof the government to extend zero per cent (0%) reeler working capital through 3-tier cooperativearrangement involving the primary reeler cooperatives, District Cooperative Credit Banks and Apex Bank

with NABARD refinancing" The interest reimbursement for prompt repayment will be extended throughthe Sericulture Department. Similarly,nore than 3-decadc old sick Mahadeswara Silk Filature

Cooperative in Mandya district is being revived. "l-he possibility of reviving the Karnataka Silk Marketing

Federation is under examination.

3.0 Issues:

3.1 Production;

This includes Scope for expansion of area, infrastructure'- irrrgation, water management, rearing house,

equipment for Technology adoption, grainage, chawki supply, rearing technology, cocoon

storage/warehouse * hot air driers, reeling- power, water, labour welfare, lnstitutional financing,health, pollutlon aspects in reeling sector, byproduct utilization.

3.2 Marketing:

This includes cocoon, cocoon quality assessment and floor price, payment mechanism, raw silk, silk

waste and pupal waste, raw silk consumption, import - export, twisting, value addition, product

diversification, marketing/supply chains, price detcrmination, payment mechanism, money share ofdifferent players in supply chain etc.

Cocoons are perishable in nature. They need to be sold and purchased between 5th and 7th production

day. Cocoons must be processed within 2 to 3 days of purchase. Otherwise the entire cocoons whichhave been purchased as raw material by reelers become a waste and the loss is Sd to SSZ of thepurchase value. Reelers convert cocoons (perishable) to raw silk (non-perishable) and feed to theproduct conversion chaln of the silk industry.

Price discovery /fixation of the cocoon pricc happens in the.Govt. cocoon markets in a competitivemanner and that of the raw silk in silk exchanges. The cocoon prices depend heavily on the raw silk

price which is directly related to the demand for and supply of raw silk. As a result, any slump in theopen market price of raw silk has direct and immediate effect on the reelers and farmers. ln such

circumstances the farmers and reelers will undergo considerable losses. The focus of Government is toinstitutionalize raw silk trade to insulate the cocoon and raw srlk production from the market vagaries.

4.0 What Needs to be Done:

The Sericulture Department is engaged in planning, execution and monitoring of allthe activities related

to cocoon and raw silk production. In addition to this, it is implementing the State and Central schemes

for the welfare of the stake holders.

It is observed that sericulture growth in the State is dire ctly influenced by the Cocoon and raw silk prices

in the markets. Whenever there is a better price, there is an accelerated sericulture growth and vise

versa" In case the cocoons produced by farmcrs (sericulturists) do not fetch competitive prices and ifthey incur loss, it becomes difficult to make a living and thereby the sericulture industry would decline

gra d ua lly.

Presently, the department is fully aware of the factors a{fecting to cocoon processing and raw silk

production which are the visible activities. There is a need to study the factors relating to post raw silk

production and marketing of raw silk and silk yarn activities.

It is essential that the cocoon is produced by the farmers are purchased and subjected to different

skilled and specialized process with multi-fold value additions towards product conversion aimed at

producing silk fabric which can be marketed to various categories of consumers.

Adverse raw silk prices directly affect production. Distress sales make the venture non profitable tofarmers and reelers. The trade mechanism and trade channels from reeler to raw silk consumption

points have not been well understood. The periodical and seasonal Quantitative and qualitative

requirements of raw silk at the consumption points are not well understood and documented. The

progressive incremental raw silk requirements and seasonal requirements at the. various raw silk

consumption points are also not clearly known. The above lack of information deprives scope to plan

end-to-end production activity leading to haphazard sericulture growth and associated market distress

at the farmer and reeler levels.

It is necessary to understand the Raw Silk qualitative and quantitative demand, supply, and domestic

requirement, import of raw silk and silk products as well as raw silk and silk exports. Hence market

research analysis is essential. ln the present scenario, due to lack of complete understanding of the

market process, by and large the raw silk production activity is having no relationship to the prevailing

market situation/requirement both in terms of quantity and quality. The volume of silk production of

different qualities has to be assessed and analysed state-wise. ln this context the present tiade channels

of raw silk have to be clearly identified right from grassroots level. The local level informal raw silk

aggregation mechanisms have to be clearly identified, established and intitutionalised. Correspondingproduction process and the mostly non-institutional finance and support extended by the aggregators

have to be quantified highlighting and documenting their associated ill effects. Also there is a need toidentify various middlemen engaged in the raw silk market process, the stages of money transfer and

the margins at each level of the middlemen right from the primary production level.

4.1 Diversification of silk products and other uses of silk have to be studied as under:

Uses in Bio-medical Sciences:

Apart from the regular use of silk as yarn to make fabrics,there are ample avenues to utilize the by-products of sericulture, whicn if used prudently and judiciously, can help increase the value ofsericulture products to maintain a healthy level of profitability.Under Bio-medical sciences, silk has beenincreasingly used as biomaterialto make scaffolds, sponges,films,gels,nano-particles,and nano-fibrils.

Hence there is a need for establishing R&D lnstitutes to work in collaboration with reputed National andlnternational lnstitutes to develop technologies to use silk as a bio-material in biomedical applicationssuch as:

4.2 Other Uses:

Different types of raw silk such as superior quality dupion silk, bulky raw:;ilk, entangled raw silk etc., andfabrics such as, silk union fabrics, knitted and non-woven structures; eco friendly processing includingplasma technology; development of washable silk; electro-spinning from silk based; speciality functionalfinishes like fire retardant, stain guard, anti-microbial, multifunctional finishes need to be developed forvalue addition in the raw silk sector.

Given these uses of raw silk market research and analysis are an urgent requirement. Hence it is

proposed to take up the study on the following for the long term development of the silk productionand marketing for healthy development of the industry so as to protect the interest of reelers andfarmers.

5.0 Bi-product Utilization

Various bi-products in the silk industry like mulberry leaf waste, silkworm litter, pierced cocoons, pupae,palade layer, silk waste(jute) have economic value and utilization.There is a need to study the bi-product utilization and economics at various levels.
