According to FIDA, the country’s raw silk production has slipped to slightly above one-fourth the production of 2003, when the country produced 3,292 kg raw silk from 9,066 kg dried cocoon with mulberry trees for silkworm rearing spread on an area of 245 hectares. As against this, during last year the country hardly collected 894 kg of raw silk from 4,617 kg dried cocoon and 157 hectares of mulberry tree plantations.

As mentioned on FIDA website, presently most of the country’s silk is produced by the not-for-profit Organization for Industrial, Spiritual and Cultural Advancement (OISCA) at its filature plant in Bago City in Negros Occidental. During last year, the organization contributed around 800 kg to the county’s total raw silk output.

She said they eye higher investor interest in textile mills as there is a readily available market for these products, and also as they want the investors to realize that they have a plan of action for the industry.
