This presentation provides information about silk, including its historical background, production process, and economic perspective. It introduces eight presenters and discusses how silk was first discovered in China and later spread via the Silk Road. The production process involves sericulture, or silk farming, to cultivate silkworms. China is currently the world's largest producer and exporter of silk. A SWOT analysis identifies silk's strengths as being strong and elastic, while weaknesses include its cost and delicacy. Opportunities exist in tourism and declining global production, but threats include strong competition and price pressures.

4. Introduction
 Silk is a natural “protein” fiber.
 Silk is also called “Queen of fibers”
 The best-known silk is obtained
from the cocoons of the larvae of
the mulberry silkworm Bombyx
mori.
 sericulture.
 Strongest of all fibers.

5. HISTORICAL
BACKGROUND
The Legend:According to well-established Chinese legend, Empress
Hsi Ling Shi, wife of Emperor Huang Ti (also called the Yellow Emperor),
the first person to accidentally discover silk as weavable fiber..
The Silk Road: Though first reserved for Chinese royalty, silk spread
gradually through the Chinese culture both geographically and socially.
From there, silken garments began to reach regions throughout Asia.
SILK
Silk, one of the oldest fibers known to
man, originated in China. The history
of silk is both enchanting and
illustrious

6. HISTORICAL
BACKGROUND
 A Well-kept Secret: The Chinese realized the value of the beautiful
material they were producing and kept its secret safe from the rest of the
world for more than 30 centuries
 Sericulture Spreads into Asia and Europe:By about CE 300, sericulture had
spread into India, Japan, and Persia – thus making silk a part of the
of these cultures.
The secret of silk-making was only to reach Europe around CE 550, via
the Byzantine Empire.
In the seventh century, the Arabs conquered Persia, capturing their
magnificent silks in the process.
By the 13th century, however, Italy had gained dominance and entered
hall of fame in silk history

7. Production
Process
SERICULTURE
SILK
Sericulture, or silk farming, is the
cultivation of silkworms to produce silk.
Although there are several commercial
species of silkworms, Bombyx mori (the
caterpillar of the domesticated silk moth) is
the most widely used and intensively
studied silkworm..

10. ECONOMICAL VIEW OF SILK
 World silk production has approximately doubled in spite of man made fibers
replacing silk for some uses. China is the main producer of silk.
 Asia is the main producer of silk in the world and produces over 95 per cent of the
total global output.
 China is the leading supplier of silk to the world with an annual production of
153942 MT (2006). India is the second largest producer of silk with 18475 MT (2006-
07)
 Silk has a miniscule percentage of the global textile fibre market—less than 0.2%
 Silk is a multibillion-dollar trade; with a unit price for raw silk roughly twenty times
that of raw cotton.

18. Silk in Bangladesh
Perspective
 Bangladesh has no position in the world silk market as it produces only 40 MT of raw
silk per year.
 Only a few reeling units have so far been in operation in some places most of which are
not fit for good quality raw silk production.
 T he weather is not good for silk pr oduction .
 Bangladesh Sericulture Board (BSB) gets fund through development projects they
provide mulberry saplings to the farmers for plantation in the road and embankment
sides
 BSB has so far implemented 16 development projects during the period of 33 years
since its inception in 1978.
