Assam has a bright prospect of the Muga silk industry. The industry can reshape the rural economy of the state to a great extent and make this region a big earner of foreign exchange. Despite of tremendous potentialities and prospects of muga silk commercialization, rural people engaged in muga cultivation could not reap the expected benefit due to various problems related to it. In this study, some of the problems faced by the muga rearers are highlighted. The findings of the study may help the concerned authorities and departments for developing plans in favor of Muga rearers.
