CSB has set the price of per cocoon at around Rs1.10, however, cultivators obtained rates ranging from Rs1.30 to Rs1.50 for each cocoon based on the quality.
State Government has provided basic seeds for plantation and proper training to cocoon growers at the 28 pilot project centres spread over Singhbhum and Santhal Pargana for over a year.
