That work is scientifically sound, but with production costs that could exceed $100,000 per kilogram, it is difficult to see how these programs could capture a significant part of the textile market. Kraig is able to produce its genetically engineered spider silks, including Monster Silk™, at less than 1% of that cost."

so we are talking about how much it cost to produce ie to make (cost of mulberrry/workers etc..) the silk.
which is where I stated how much silk cost currently in china now($54-55/kg) and that is the price with the profit built in so it cost less than 54-55/kg
You stated less than $1 million a tonne!!
Well 1000Kg x 540-1100 kg is $540,000 to $1.1 million per tonne!!
So I guess you mean more than $1 million a tonne!! LOL!!
no I said that is what I think they will sell it for so no it is not the same thing
