Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the market volume for silkworm cocoons in Madagascar increased from 50,000 kg to 57,140 kg. This growth was supported by the activities of established local enterprises like MANJAKALANDY, which has engaged in mulberry cultivation, silkworm rearing, and weaving since 1995 amid rising demand. Concurrently, the setup of a grainage laboratory in Amberomanga focused on producing disease-free silkworm seeds, which helped improve cocoon quality and contributed to higher production levels.

After 2020, production stabilized at 57,140 kg annually through 2023. The market retained its artisanal nature, with continued emphasis on cocoon quality and natural color diversity, while efforts to enhance silkworm seed health via laboratory work persisted. No major new industrial entrants or significant regulatory changes were reported, supporting the consistent output during these years.
