Abstract:
Jute is cultivated in several states of India. In India, around 1 million hectare of land in under jute
cultivation, production is 10 million tones and yield is 1960 Kg per hectare. In N.E. States jute is
cultivated in Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Nagaland & Tripura. Assam ranks second
as the most jute producing state in India after West Bengal. Unfortunately 75% of the jute
produced in Assam goes out of the state in raw form and a large position of it comes back to
Assam after value addition outside the state.
