  coarse and strong threads is one of the strong
  and durable fabrics.
• Jute cultivation for textile applications has
  been a part of Indias agriculture profile for at

  in India, jute played a vital role in the
  development of Indian society for millennia.

The journey of a plant fibre to fabric

• Jute Cultivation
• The jute plant is easily grown in tropical
  countries. It is a rain-fed crop.  Jute is one of
  Indias main cash crops. The jute plant needs
  alluvial soil and standing water. The monsoon
  climate is a suitable climate for growing jute.
  Obtained from the bark of the jute plant, Jute
  has a high yield per acre, and little requirement
  for pesticides, and fertilizers.
