Assam is globally renowned for its silk, especially Muga, Eri, and Mulberry silk, produced from high-quality silk cocoons. Sericulture provides sustainable livelihoods through silkworm rearing, reeling, weaving, and textile production.
Silk cocoon production is one of Assam’s distinctive agro-based industries, with Muga, Eri, and Mulberry silk supporting rural livelihoods, particularly through sericulture and weaving activities. Silk cocoons are processed into raw silk, yarn, handwoven fabrics, sarees, scarves, stoles, and designer textiles valued for their durability, sheen, and cultural heritage. Growing demand for traditional and sustainable textiles creates opportunities for MSMEs and artisans. Silk products attract applicable GST rates, while exports are zero-rated and may be eligible for RoDTEP incentives. GI, Handloom Mark, Silk Mark, and sustainability certifications can enhance authenticity, brand value, and global market acceptance.
