Hello Mahmoud,If I was in your place I would be looking around for some other crop. Good quality silk, of the kind that Europe and Japan are willing to pay reasonable money for (which is only the Bivotine hybrids) requires moderate rearing temperatures that only occur in Egypt during a few short months of the year. If you are in possession of good agricultural land (which mulberry production demands) you will realize better profit from some other crop.
