Question

silk and would production in India plz explain

Answer 1

India is the seventh-largest producer of wool in the world with a global production share of nearly 1.8 per cent. India’s wool consumption was estimated at 135 million kg. This is expected to increase to 260 million kg by 2019–20. The wool industry is concentrated in Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat. Punjab accounts for about 35 per cent of wool production units, followed by Maharashtra and Rajasthan.

KEY MARKETS AND EXPORT DESTINATIONS

The US and the EU are key export destinations for Indian wool and wool-blended products. Indian exporters are geographically diversifying their exports to other regions such as the Middle East, Latin America, South East Asia, and East Asia to increase their footprint globally.

In April 2016-January 2017, exports of wool and wool-blended products (including ready-made woollen garments, woollen yarn, fabrics, made-ups and woollen hand-made carpets) totalled US$328.10 million.

The Wool and Woollens Exports Council of India has also set the export target of US$610 million for the year 2017-18.

SILK


Silk in the Indian subcontinent is a luxury good. In India, about 97% of the raw mulberry silk is produced in the five Indian states ofKarnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal and Jammu and Kashmir.[1] Mysoreand North Bangalore, the upcoming site of a US$20 million "Silk City", contribute to a majority of silk production.[2] Another emerging silk producer is Tamil Nadu where mulberry cultivation is concentrated in Salem,Erode and Dharmapuri districts. Hyderabad,Andhra Pradesh and Gobichettipalayam,Tamil Nadu were the first locations to have automated silk reeling units.
