Sericulture was realized to require immediate and long-term needs for its accelerated development and sustenance, primarily on the country’s institutional capabilities on manpower infrastructure, facilities, and financial requirements. Sericulture industry became an indispensable component in the R, D & E programs of DMMMSU.

Henceforth, the Extension Division of SRDI is at the forefront of disseminating seri-technologies in the Philippine countryside. In doing so, it bears the brunt of negative perceptions on this new technology manifested in the target clienteles’ propensity against anything novel and indifference among certain quarters in the local and national levels of governance. The SRDI, however, is strongly committed to perform its function as mandated. The action plan of the Extension Division is anchored on efficiency and effectiveness based on its meager budget.

At present, the following are being done:

Silkworm Hybrid Production and Distribution

Mulberry Sapling Production and Distribution

Development of Mulberry Sericulture Communities

Canadian International Development Assistance Project

Moreover, the SRDI is concerned with the development of sericulture communities in the country through farmer cooperatives, establishment of sericulture centers and pilot sites and medium-scale filature units to showcase the viability of sericulture in different locations of the country.

Thus, the Institute extends technical services to sericulture cooperatives, development agents, farmers, and entrepreneurs on call or as the need arises all over the country through consultations, training, and other support services.

The SRDI also offers the following degree programs in sericulture in coordination with the Graduate College of DMMMSU:

a. Ph.D. in Agricultural Science major in Sericulture - to be offered

b. Master of Science in Sericulture

c. Bachelor of Science in Agriculture major in Sericulture

Likewise, it conducts non-degree programs for different types of clienteles.
