Svilarstvo

Svilarstvo ili serikultura je djelatnost uzgoja svilenih buba u svrhu proizvodnje sirove svile. Iako postoji nekoliko komercijalnih vrsta svilenih buba, najčešće se koristi i najintenzivnije proučava Bombyx mori. Prema kongucijanskim tekstovima, otkriće proizvodnje svile preko B. mori datira oko 2700. pne., iako arheološki dokazi ukazuju na proizvodnju svile još u periodu Yangshao (5000 – 3000. pne.).^[1] Oko prve polovice 1. vijeka n.e. svilarstvo je doprlo do Khotana,^[2] a do 140. se uspostavilo i u Indiji.^[3] Kasnije je uvedeno u Evropu, Mediteran i druge azijske zemlje. Svilarstvo je postalo važna ekonomska djelatnost u nizu zemalja kao što su Kina, Japan, Indija, Koreja, Brazil, Rusija, Italija i Francuska. Danas su Kina i Indija glavni proizvođači, koji svake godine proizvedu 60 % sve svile na svijetu.
