and produces over 95 % of the total global output. Though
there are over 40 countries on the world map of silk, bulk of it
is produced in China and India, followed by Japan, Brazil and
Korea. China is the leading supplier of silk to the world.
India is the second largest producer of silk and also the largest
consumer of silk in the world. It has a strong tradition and
culture bound domestic market of silk. In India, mulberry silk is
produced mainly in the states of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh,
Tamil Nadu, Jammu & Kashmir and West Bengal, while the nonmulberry silks are produced in Jharkhand, Chattisgarh, Orissa
and north-eastern states.
