Abstrakt: Sericulture is an agro cottage industry that plays a significant role for sustainable livelihood in rural and urban economy of Kashmir. It includes backward and forward linkage processes from mulberry plantation, silkworm rearing, reeling, silk textile weaving. The present study was conducted to examine growth in mulberry area, production and productivity of silk cocoons which was collected over the period of 30 years from 1990-2020 in Kashmir valley. To carry out the analysis, secondary data sources have been used by taking into consideration the compound annual growth rate, regression analysis and decomposition model to achieve objectives of the study. The perusal of results indicate that the trend of production and yield of silk cocoons witnessed an increase atthe rate of 1.59 and 2.79 from 1990-91 to 2019-20 and mulberry area shows signs of decreasing trend at the rate of -1.14 during the last three decades (1990-2020). The decomposition model analysis predicted that silk cocoon production is mainly contributed by yield effect (59.27 %) followed by interaction effect (46.10 %) and area effect (-5.37 %). Therefore, the need of sericulture policy interventions and supply chain collaborations by the Government and comprehensive strategic approach is required which is not only important from viewpoint of potential income generating activities but also as the key contribution to the GDP of the Jammu and Kashmir economy.
