A. Industry Structure and Development:
India is the worlds biggest producer of jute, followed by Bangladesh. The jute industry is among the oldest industries in India. In India, the jute industry plays a key role in the eastern region of the country. It supports about 40 lakh farm families and provides livelihood to lakhs of workmen. The Government of India has issued Jute Packing Order whereby food grains have to be packed 100% in jute bags and sugar 20% in jute bags. There is an increasing awareness world over to increase usage of environment friendly natural products. This has led to increase in demand for jute shopping bags.
Opportunities/Threats, Risks & Concerns:
Opportunities

be packed in jute bags.

3. Demand for jute diversi ed products like shopping bag etc. increasing
Threats
1. Shortage of workers increasing.
2. Shortage of raw jute due to farmer opting for other more remunerative crop
3. Strong competition from Bangladesh whose labour and ber is cheaper than India
Outlook:
Due to large carryover of ber and good crop availability of Raw Jute in 2024-25 comfortable. Prices were reasonable and held steady. As the farmer did not get very attractive prices, farmers opted to grow other crop. Therefore total production of raw jute is likely to be quite less this year and prices are expected to increase significantly. Due to geopolitical tension export demand is expected to be sluggish. However due to favorable weather conditions the Government demand for Jute bags is likely to be robust.
