The expert said that 100 kg of silkworm cocoon can yield 20 to 22 kg of silk, he added.
"We have the plan to establish the Association of Mulberry Tress Planters to protect the benefits of our silk products," he said, "When we expanded our land for planting mulberry tress to 800-1000 hectares, foreign investors will come here to set up a factory to make silk for exporting."
"If we can produce raw materials of silk in the country, local people will have jobs to do," he said, adding that it will help promote higher living standards, reduce poverty, stop labor migration and increase the national revenues.
