Silk, a highly priced agricultural commodity, accounts for about 0.2% of the total world production of textile fiber. Since sericulture stands next to agriculture for rural employment in India, it becomes a matter of concern to examine the sericulture production trend over the years and reasons for slow growth. The data for the study period 1980-81 to 2005-06 collected from Annual Reports of Central Silk Board were partitioned in two equal halves, the first 13 years (1980-81 to 1992-93) and next 13 years (1993-94 to 2004-06).
