Although silk production has played a crucial role in income generation and job creation in the village economy, silk producers and other stakeholders remain vulnerable to business failure and poverty. The lack of business management skills may lead to inefficient production which in turn may contribute to overuse and accelerated depletion of local resources. For example, the increase in the volume of chemical dyes used and lack of waste treatment know-how of the local producers and authorities could accelerate the pollution to the detriment of both human and ecological systems.
