Tasar silk, also spelled in other ways, including tussar, is a coarse variety of silk largely produced across Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal in India. The south Asian country was the second-largest producer of tasar with approximately three thousand metric tons in fiscal year 2018. It was harvested by tribals from different species of silkworms largely in wild forests, and hence considered a forest product.
