Over 90% of commercially produced silk is by the domesticated silkworm Bombyx mori. This is a monophagous insect with a diet that is restricted to the leaves of white mulberries, Moms alba and Moms indica. The production of silk requires the maintenance of mulberry plantations (moriculture), the rearing of silkworms to the cocoon spinning stage (sericulture) and finally the unravelling of cocoons (reeling). Each subsection of the production will be outlined below. 

Production of leaves from the deciduous genus Moms, most commonly M. alba or M. indica, is the starting point of sericulture. In subtropical conditions such as found in the study area, this fast-growing tree starts to produce commercial quantities of leaves within one year of planting.
