Silk Production per capitain Europe

Silk Production per capita — Silk Production per Capita refers to the annual quantity of silk produced divided by the total population of a country or region, measured on a per-person basis. This indicator represents the average silk production attributed to each individual within a population during a specific year. It is used to analyse the intensity, scale, and trends of silk production across countries and regions. The data provides a historical time series of silk production per capita, helping assess changes in sericulture activities, agricultural productivity, and the contribution of silk production to rural and agricultural economies. Inclusions: The data includes annual silk production quantities obtained from sericulture activities, including silk produced through silkworm cultivation and related agricultural processes. It covers country-level and regional production estimates adjusted according to population size to calculate per capita values. The indicator includes historical trends from 2015 to 2023 and supports comparisons between different geographical regions. It reflects production changes resulting from variations in farming practices, technological improvements, availability of mulberry cultivation, rural agricultural activities, and developments in traditional silk-producing industries. Exclusions: The data excludes processed silk products such as silk fabrics, garments, textiles, and other manufactured silk goods. It does not include silk consumption, imports, exports, trade values, market prices, or economic contributions from the textile and fashion industries. The indicator does not measure productivity efficiency, quality of silk produced, environmental impacts, or income generated from silk-related activities. It only represents average production per person and may not capture differences in production methods, reporting accuracy, population estimates, or variations in data availability between countries and regions.

This represented an overall increase of 0.61 milligrams per capita, indicating relatively stable silk production activity across the region during the period. The modest annual growth suggests that Europe’s sericulture sector maintained a steady production level, with no major fluctuations observed in per capita output.

Bulgaria recorded substantially higher silk production per capita than the overall European average. Its production increased from 696.62 milligrams per capita in 2015 to 701.51 milligrams in 2016 and 706.65 milligrams in 2017. Bulgaria’s per capita production remained more than three times higher than the regional average throughout the period, highlighting its comparatively important position in Europe’s silk-producing agricultural sector. The steady increase also indicates stable silk cultivation and continued support for sericulture-related activities within the country.

Europe’s total silk production increased from 21,535 milligrams in 2015 to 21,598 milligrams in 2016 and 21,653 milligrams in 2017. The continued growth in the regional production figures aligned with the upward movement in per capita output. Although the changes were relatively small, the data indicates that silk production remained stable and gradually expanded across Europe.

Overall, Europe experienced a slow but positive growth trend in silk production per capita between 2015 and 2017. Bulgaria remained a notable contributor, with considerably higher per capita production than the European average. The data reflects the continued presence of traditional sericulture activities and stable development within Europe’s silk production sector.
