Abstract

The current research aims to analyze the economic and social impacts of the silk production project in Egypt through study the current production status of silk in Egypt during the period (2005-2022) and estimate the quantity of silk imports during the same period. Besides analyze the economic and social feasibility of the silk production project in Egypt to identify the main problems and constraints facing silk breeders in Egypt. The main results are shown that the quantity of silk threads produced during the study period (2005-2022) ranged between a minimum of about 245 Kg in 2014 and a maximum of about 2520 Kg in 2005, with an annual average of about 1005.44 Kg. The total return value for the first year of rearing is approximately 145.000 Egyptian pounds, increasing to about 226.000 Egyptian pounds in the second year of rearing, starting from the third year of the project's operation. These returns continue until the end of the project's lifespan and may slightly vary based on prevailing market prices. The results showed that the concerning the problems faced by the beneficiaries of the silk production project from silkworms the most significant problem is marketing and distribution, with a relative importance of approximately 20% of the total problems. In the second place, there is a problem with the lack of training in modern breeding methods, accounting for about 17.78%.
