Silk weaving in Bao Loc City

Bao Loc City, Lam Dong Province, is known as the "silk capital" of Vietnam, where the traditional mulberry cultivation, silkworm rearing, silk reeling, and silk weaving industries thrive. Bao Loc has affirmed its position in the Vietnamese silk industry, with many high-quality silk products exported to countries around the world.

The technology for producing and processing silk and silk textile products in Bao Loc city has been systematically invested in with many modern, high-capacity equipment, machinery, and production lines. The locality has also supported people in switching from old varieties to new, high-yield varieties.

The synchronized application of technological advancements, from planting and intensive cultivation of mulberry varieties to high-quality silkworm rearing techniques, has reduced production costs, increased productivity, and improved the quality of cocoons used in silk production.

Behind silk garments lies a long process involving dozens of meticulous and absolutely precise steps, one after another, from the fields to the factory.
