What is the cost of 1kg of mulberry?

The cost of 1kg of mulberry silk varies widely based on grade, form (raw silk vs finished fabric), and purchase volume. For wholesale buyers, it’s essential to understand these variables to budget accurately.

Raw mulberry silk cocoons are the starting point, but most buyers purchase finished fabric. For bulk wholesale orders from China silk factories, here are typical ranges:

• 3A–4A grade mulberry silk: $20–$40 per kg

• 5A grade mulberry silk: $40–$70 per kg

• 6A grade mulberry silk: $70–$120+ per kg

Momme weight also affects the cost per kg. Thicker 25mm+ silk fabric has a higher weight per square meter, so 1kg of heavyweight silk will yield fewer yards than 1kg of lightweight 16mm silk.

Wholesale MOQ pricing significantly reduces the cost per kg. Larger orders (100kg+) usually get 20–40% lower rates than small trial orders. Eco-friendly dyes, custom prints, and special finishes also add to the cost per kg.

For custom silk products, the cost per kg of fabric is just one part of the total price. Labor, cutting, sewing, and packaging add to the final cost, so always factor in all production costs when budgeting for wholesale orders.
