In Uzbekistan, almost all silkworm breeding occurs within individual farms, where most of the cocoons are still bred as they have been, perhaps, since the 4th century. Although today, the production of silk fiber and making of clothes are basically automated.
Overall, about 30,000 tons of cocoons are produced in Uzbekistan every year. The biggest silk weaving factory is in Margilan.
