Mulberry silk, Cocoon producers, Silk reelers, Silk weavers, Supply chain, Linkages.

Mulberry silk is a natural silk produced by the silkworm Bombyx mori L. by consumption of the only mulberry host plant Morus spp., Moraceae. Mulberry silk is the major producing silk in Karnataka and has huge demand in textile and industries. Karnataka is the leading silk producer accounting of 31 per cent of mulberry silk production in India. The paper is focused on the supply chain linkages and constraints in production and marketing of mulberry silk and silk products. A sample size of 60 of each mulberry cocoon producers, silk reelers and silk weavers were selected by multistage sample sampling and snowball technique were used for the study. The supply chain linkages were continues from production to marketing of mulberry silk. The backward linkage consists of production of mulberry leaves, cocoons and the silk as the same the forward linkage consists of value addition to silk by throwing, dyeing and weaving. Major production problem in mulberry silk were lack of skilled labour, good quality of reeling water and in mulberry silk product were unavailability of good quality silk, rise of price of silk yarn and lack of skilled labours. Major marketing problems in mulberry silk were price fluctuation, lack of regulated or organized market structure and in mulberry silk product were lack of regulated or organized market structure and middleman problems. It is fact that every silk sector has a value added chain from silk worm eggs to fabrics. In this paper an attempt has been made to study every activity in the value chain and the constraints that are being encountered in production and marketing of mulberry silk and their products.
