Jute is Bangladesh's traditional cash crop, once known as the “golden fibre.” As a biodegradable fibre, global interest is rising again.
Tossa and white jute are the main types. Retting and fibre quality determine market price.
Jute bags and products can replace single-use plastics. With better varieties and processing, jute can remain a profitable, eco-friendly crop.
