Jute is considered as the second most important “Natural Fiber” after cotton. Jute is a biodegradable plant used to make jute handicrafts, hessian, gunny cloth, and burlap. The famous name of jute is the Golden Fiber due to its gold shade and high monetary value. It is a soft, long, and shiny fiber that can easily be spun into thread.
Jute is a yearly crop i.e. grown in India and Bangladesh near the Ganges. 90% of the production of the world’s jute is harvested in Bangladesh and the rest in India.
This plant needs plain alluvial soil and standing deep water. The optimal weather for farming jute is wet and warm means monsoon season. Soft water is very important for the production of the jute plant. The industry was bombed by this plant in the 18th and 19th centuries.
