How does the passage suggest that sericulture can become an excellent mode of income augmentation?

Directions: Read the passage and answer the question that follows:

The ancient technique of rearing silkworms for production of silk yarn (and weaving it into expensive cloth) is widely practiced today. There is a huge export market too for silk cloth and garments. However, as in so many other traditional industries, the primary producers get only a fraction of the profits which are usually cornered by middle men and trading houses. Consequently the mulberry cultivators, silk reelers, weavers, etc. continue to live in dismal conditions. They also face hardships arising from pests, non-availability or poor quality of raw materials and price manipulations. Sericulture and silk production have an enormous potential in our country provided it is made available to rural people, especially women, and its marketing is organised independently. It can serve as an excellent mode for employment generation and augmentation of income. This requires not only providing fresh technological inputs to primary producers but more importantly, evolving and establishing new systems of organising production and marketing.
