ABSTRACT
Sericulture provides a continuous income throughout the year. An economic analysis of
mulberry sericulture farmers was studied. Cost and return structure from cross-breed (Pure Mysore
x CSR2) silkworm rearing was estimated. The study has shown that net returns from one acre of
mulberry worked out to Rs.52,206=00/year. The cost-benefit ratio of sericulture was worked out
to be significantly higher (1:1.94). Detailed study of the economics revealed that the major
economic factor contributing for the total cost in structure was labour which was 32.54% for
silkworm rearing and 13.95% for mulberry production. Another important item was cost of
equipment for silkworm rearing which is about 11.27%.
