Abstract Sericulture or silk production is regarded as well-suited agro-basedlabour-intensive cottage industry that significantly contributes to the socio-economic development of rural communities in Assam. It offers valuable employment opportunities to small and marginal farmersas well as agricultural labourers. It requires minimal investment while yielding profitable returns within a short period of time. Among the three category of silk production in Assam, Muga is the most luxurious and unique fabric produced in the region which is known for its natural golden hue and durability. The scientific name of Muga silk is “Antheraea assamensis”.There are few studies regarding silk production in Assam, especially in the Lakhimpur district which contributes the largest portion to the state's silk production.Therefore, this study attempts to examine the growth pattern of Muga silk production in Lakhimpur district since 2013 and aims to compare the percentage of families engaged in different categories of silk production.Based on secondary sources from government websites and articles, the study found that the growth pattern of Muga silk production has fluctuated over the period of timewith variations in the production of Muga cocoons and yarn/raw silk. Additionally, it revealed that most families are engaged in Eri silk production due to its easily manageable process and accessible tools, followed by Muga and Mulberry silk production respectively.
