Description
Sericulture is one of the important and significant sectors for the rural economy and contributes in poverty alleviation through employment generation and income all round the year to the rural farm families in India. The present study undertaken in state of Assam with aim of the relative contribution of area and yield on production and instability index for sericulture (Eri, Muga and Mulberry) by using time series data relating to area and production of cocoon and raw silk for the time period from 2001-02 to 2015-16. The findings reveals that the change in production can be mainly attributed due to yield effect rather than area expansion under Eri, Muga and Mulberry in selected districts for the study period. Instability Index of area under Eri (29.94%) and Muga (20.62%) was recorded low however, high for mulberry (38.24%). Instability in Eri (20.62%) and Muga (10.42%) cocoon production was found to be low while it was recorded high for mulberry (59.56%) whereas, instability in silk production for Eri (23.35%) and Muga (7.90%) was found to be low but high for mulberry (39.92%) in Assam state.
