Top Jute Producing Countries In The World:
India: India is the largest jute-producing country in the world, with annual production estimated at more than 1.968 million tonnes. The prominence of India in the global production of jute is attributed to improvements in the crop cultivation process, as well as the use of technology in jute farming. The majority of jute produced in India is consumed domestically, as the country is also one of the largest consumers of jute and jute products in the world. Strict laws in India regarding allowable types of packaging materials are a primary cause of the country’s demand for jute. In 2011, India imported over 337,000 tonnes of jute and jute products to meet domestic demand. West Bengal accounts for as much as 50 percent of the country’s total jute production. Other major jute-producing regions in the country include Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Meghalaya, Assam, and Orissa.
Bangladesh: Bangladesh is the second-largest producer of jute in the world, with annual production estimated at 1.349 million tonnes. The country was formerly the world’s top jute producer, but a lack of technological advancements in Bangladesh’s jute cultivation means that production was stagnant, and was later surpassed by India as the global leader in jute production. Nonetheless, Bangladesh remains the world’s largest exporter of jute fiber, accounting for as much as 70 percent of global jute exports. The jute fiber produced in Bangladesh is often considered the best quality in the world.
Jute has been produced in Bangladesh for domestic consumption for many centuries, but it was not until the establishment of the British East India Company that the crop became a key export commodity. Key jute-producing regions in Bangladesh include Tangail, Dhaka, Jessore, Jamalpur, Bogra, and Faridpur. The total area under jute cultivation in Bangladesh is about 559,838 hectares. The Bangladeshi Jute Research Institute is a state-owned institute that provides top-quality seeds to jute farmers across the country.
Other Top Jute Producing Countries: There are few other countries that have significant levels of jute production. These countries include China, whose annual jute production is estimated to be about 29,628 tonnes. China is also one of the world’s largest consumers and importers of natural fiber. Other top jute producers include Uzbekistan with 20,000 tonnes, Nepal with 14,890 tonnes, and South Sudan with 3,300 tonnes.
Uses Of Jute
Jute is one of the most common natural fibers in the world and is renowned for its antistatic and insulation properties, as well as its low thermal conductivity. Jute also has low extensibility and high tensile strength, which makes jute-made packaging materials breathable and hence suitable for the packaging of agricultural commodities. Numerous countries around the world have imposed bans on plastic packaging, making jute a popular alternative due to its bio-degradable nature.

The primary source of the fiber is Corchorus olitorius, but such fiber is considered inferior to that derived from Corchorus capsularis. Jute is the name of the plant or fiber used to make burlap, hessian or gunny cloth.
Jute is one of the most affordable natural fibers, and second only to cotton in the amount produced and variety of uses. Jute fibers are composed primarily of the plant materials cellulose and lignin. Jute fiber falls into the bast fiber category which refers to fiber collected from bast, the phloem of the plant sometimes called the skin along with kenaf, industrial hemp, linen, ramie, etc. The industrial term for jute fiber is raw jute. The fibers are off-white to brown, and 1 to 4 meters or 3 to 13 feet long. Jute is also called the golden fiber for its color and high cash value.
