Silk Mark Expo 2018 at NEDFi House from Sept 5

Guwahati (Assam), Aug 25, 2018:

Silk Mark Organisation of India (SMOI) will organise Silk Mark Expo 2018, Guwahati at the NEDFi House here from 5^th to 9^th September.

The expo will be inaugurated by Assam’s Minister of Handloom, Textiles & Sericulture Ranjit Dutta.

SMOI organises Silk Mark expos involving Silk Mark members, authorised users (AUs) of the Silk Mark labels who are weavers, manufacturers, NGOs, prominent silk dealers, exporters and government-supported agencies from all over the country.

These events are ideal platforms not only to popularise Silk Mark labels and provide valuable linkages to all stakeholders in the silk industry, but also encourage the local entrepreneurs in silk to start business in the product.

There are more than 3,818 AUs of the Silk Mark and over three lakh Silk Mark labelled products in the market.

According to SMOI, these labels are not only a mark of purity but also inspire confidence in the buyers to purchase only the Silk Mark-labelled products while buying silk. This in turn increases the demand for pure silks, benefiting the sericulture farmers and other stakeholders dealing in silk.
