An integrated mixed cropping pattern is practiced in the State by majority of the farmers considering the land holding size. However the state has made considerable advancements in sericulture especially bivoltine sericulture. Kerala is one of the few states in India where bivoltine sericulture is practiced to the tune of 100%.
