Utility of Sericulture By-products A review - Vasudha Lingampally - Bog

Sericulture by-products contain vast, unexplored potential that extends far beyond their conventional textile applications, with both economic and ecological significance. Despite substantial research efforts aimed at expanding the horizons of sericulture, the productive utilization of these by-products is limited due to lack of awareness regarding their full potential, suitable processing techniques, required capabilities, proactive entrepreneurs, and readily accessible markets. Concrete efforts are essential to thoroughly explore, process, and convert abundant sericulture resources into products of remarkable economic value across diverse domains, including human welfare. A comprehensive and focused approach, marked by innovation and cooperation, is the key to unlock the ecological and commercial possibilities that lie within this sector. By fostering synergy and cooperation within the sericulture and associated sectors, this concerted effort holds the promise of not only creating additional employment opportunities but also boosting income levels and foreign exchange earnings.
