Silk in India primarily comes from sericulture, the cultivation of silkworms, particularly the Bombyx mori species. These silkworms feed on mulberry leaves and spin cocoons, which are then harvested to extract silk threads. India is one of the largest producers of silk globally, with states like Karnataka, Andhra pradesh, and Tamil Nadu being notable hubs for silk production. Additionally, India also imports silk from countries like China and Japan to meet its demand.
