India is a large centre for manufacturing, importing and exporting different kind of fabrics and silk is one of the most important products in this category employing more than 700,000 families based in states like Assam, Karnataka and West Bengal. Export is done on a large scale for many silk based products like saris and blouse.
In Assam and other parts of India, ERI, MUGA and TASAR are the most popularly manufactured silk varieties and production is done on a rapid rate for many fabrics but mainly silk. The product produced from these varieties like blouse and saris also differ in quality and look.TASAR is the weakest among them and outdoor rearing hampers the performance of this variety. The issue with ERI is the same clubbed with inadequate quantity of foliage. The best of the lot is MUGA; a gold colored variety and produced in mass scale in Assam. India is facing stiff competition from China and this is a fact that poor and cheap quality is being imported in India from China which is paving way for other countries to advance way ahead from China
The astonishing fact is that this important member of fabrics family is produced and consumed mainly for its “homeland” only. The demand is rising every year by 10% and major importer for silk is Germany. Indian Government and International countries are expanding the subsidies and one can expect better and superb results in future with new companies are in pipeline to become part of silk industry in Assam.
The products of silk like saris and blouse must be taken almost care and one must use steam iron as a recommended option.
