About raw silk (not thrown)
cpc code 2611, 'Raw silk (not thrown)', represents a crucial component of the global textile industry. Raw silk, produced from the cocoons of silkworms, is a natural, luxurious fiber that has been prized for centuries. This industry plays a significant role in the economies of major silk-producing countries, providing employment and contributing to the export market.
Production process
The production of raw silk involves several key steps. First, silkworms are reared and fed a diet of mulberry leaves, which they use to spin their cocoons. The cocoons are then boiled or steamed to kill the pupae inside, and the silk fibers are carefully unwound and processed. This process, known as silk reeling, results in the raw silk that is then used in various textile applications.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the raw silk industry include silkworm eggs, mulberry leaves for feeding the silkworms, and specialized equipment for the silk reeling process. Additionally, skilled labor, water, and energy sources are necessary for the efficient production of raw silk.
Production outputs
The primary output of the raw silk industry is 2611 (Raw silk (not thrown)), which is then used as a key input for the production of 2612 Silk yarn, 2613 Silk woven fabrics, and other textile products. The raw silk industry is closely linked to the broader textile and apparel sectors, contributing to the global supply chain.
