Elaborating on the Karnataka initiative, Mr. Aggarwal said, “Since inception, we are driven to offer solutions that are easy to use, pocket-friendly and are environmentally compliant. Flytrap (www.Flytrap.in), is a US-based parent company and a global winner since 1994. FlyTrap was first brought to India in 2009 after many years of in-depth research, extensive educative marketing and sales outreach. FlyTrap’s operations took off in a big manner in 2019. While initially focused on poultry and dairy farms, Covid’s lockdown brought in a new customer base in Sericulture farms through social media influencers and since then there is no looking back! The Sericulture was a game changer as this sector got a huge respite from flies thereby boosting production.“

Detailing further, Mr. Aggarwal said, “Currently, the global Sericulture market is valued at $20 billion dollars in 2024 which is about 2000 crores rupees approx. The projected estimate is $31 billion by 2031. Interestingly, India is the second largest producer of raw silk in the world. Of this, Karnataka alone produces more than 11,000 metric tons of raw silk annually. Engaging over 27 lakh sericulture farmers in India and more than 97 lakh people involved in the sericulture industry, it offers immense potential. With the total demand of silk in India alone clocking at approx. 65000 MT, there are 32 silk farms functioning under the Department of Sericulture and over Rs. 1000 crores worth of silk is being produced in India annually.”

“As regards the Uzi flies in Sericulture industry, these pose a huge threat to silkworms. Under normal conditions, few Uzi flies can cause up to 15% damage to the silkworm cocoon production. But once the silkworm rearing farm is infested with Uzi flies, the damage can easily rise up to 80% which can result in total disruption of the industry. It’s a real menace to the Sericulture industry.”

Adding further, “We are delighted to see the response from the farmers as they came in huge numbers to listen to our session and watch a detailed demonstration of Flytrap bags. Their queries were all well attended by our team. We were very happy to distribute the Flytrap Bags as samples to farmers with product pamphlets. We are hopeful that with the use of these effective Flytrap Bags, they will be able to boost their production and efficiency. We intend hosting more awareness sessions in other regions of Karnataka and also in other states where industries like Dairy, Poultry etc are hugely impacted by various kinds of flies.”
