Abstract

The study of recent trends of export of Indian silk goods reveals that mulberry silk goods shared to the extent of 95 per cent and other silk items such as tasar and mixed silk fabrics together contributed 5 per cent of total silk export during 1990-2000. The growth rates for quantity and value of export for all mulberry silk goods together were estimated to be 0.49 and 7.98 per cent during the same period. The variety-wise export analysis shows that dress material and readymade garments put together shared 62.37 per cent of total export value during 1990-1991, their share declined to 60.42 per cent in 2000-2001. The growth rates of country-wise export earnings showed that Hong Kong, France and Italy were 16.04, 13.95 and 10.00 per cent for 1990-91 to 1999-2000. India has huge potential for increasing export earnings as it has better comparative advantages than that of China. Therefore, India has to make more efforts in increasing quality silk production to meet the growing domestic and export demands of silk products in near future.
