Decree-Law No. 171
This decree regulates the trade in green silkworm cocoons from the 1942 harvest, reserving the crop for the British Ministry of Food, which buys the cocoons from producers and has them processed into silk through Lebanese reeling and throwing workshops, and it sets rules for licensing brokers and purchasing agents.
This act was published in the Lebanese Official Gazette in 1942. Its full text and the original scan are in the Gherbal National Gazette archive.
