The warehouse will benefit over 30,000 sericulture farmers and serve over 6,000 reelers with an aim to optimize silk value chain and increase production.

Commenting on the launch, Mayank Tiwari, CEO founder of Reshamandi in a statement said, “As we open Asia's second-biggest cocoon Mandi in Ramanagara, we want to provide several prospects and opportunities to the whole supply chain ecosystem. Till now, we have made significant contributions to reduce the bottlenecks in the natural fibre ecosystem and with this mandi, we will ensure that a comprehensive set of actions are implemented onsite for the farmers’ ease and monetary gain.”

“We believe this centre is a significant step towards improving industry standards, providing better employment opportunities and income for the sector which will help uplift the entire value chain, propel the advancements in the field of sericulture and will eventually manifest in making Bharat Atmanirbhar in silk production,” he added.
