Abstract: This study examines the cost and returns of cocoon production in the Krishnagiri district of Tamil Nadu, a significant area for sericulture. By analyzing primary data from local sericulturists and secondary agricultural reports, the research identifies key factors affecting production costs, such as labor, inputs, and land use. Findings reveal that labor constitutes the largest expense, significantly impacting overall production costs. However, the study also highlights the potential for substantial returns on investment, especially for farmers employing best practices and efficient rearing techniques. The research underscores cocoon production's viability as an agricultural enterprise in Krishnagiri, contributing to local economies and providing employment opportunities. This study aims to inform stakeholders and policymakers about the economic dynamics of sericulture, promoting informed decisions to improve the livelihoods of farmers in the region.
