Abstract

The resurgence of the sericulture industry, driven by the demand for sustainable fibers, necessitates a nuanced understanding of sericulture cultivation practices. This study explores the crucial relationship between farmer characteristics and the effectiveness of training programs in the traditional sericultural districts of Bholahat, Bangladesh, which contribute 75% of the country’s silk production. Using a mixed-methods approach, 192 respondents who underwent sericulture training were surveyed, interviewed, and observed on-site. The research reveals 10 significant and 9 non-significant characteristics out of 19, vital for understanding training effectiveness. The study delves into the link between farmer characteristics and training effectiveness, aiming to identify factors shaping perceptions. Insights gained contribute to designing targeted training programs for sericulture farmers, enhancing overall impact, and improving cultivation practices. The research also highlights key demographic factors, providing a comprehensive understanding of sericulture farmers and guiding informed decision-making in development and training strategies.
