Eri silkworm (Philosamia ricini) has been practiced in Assam from time immemorial in the rural areas particularly by the tribal section. Ericulture is a household activity practiced mainly for protein rich pupae, a delicacy for the tribal. Eri is a multivoltine silk spun from open-ended cocoons and is the only completely domesticated non-mulberry variety. Ericulture is an agro-based cottage industry and can be used as a tool for upliftment of rural economy and therefore called as poor man¿s business. The total Eri silk production for the year 2013-14 for the state of Assam was 2612.70 MT.
