Why is sericulture not very popular?

Sericulture, or silk farming, is not very popular due to several challenges, including the labor-intensive nature of the process and the need for specific climatic conditions for silkworm cultivation. Additionally, the high cost of production and competition from synthetic fibers can deter potential farmers. Market fluctuations and the technical knowledge required for successful sericulture also contribute to its limited appeal. Furthermore, the declining demand for traditional silk in some regions has led to reduced interest in this industry.
