Jute Bag Making

Abstract

Jute is a bio-degradable eco-friendly item. Prior to nineties, jute fabric was used for making low cost carry bags and gunny bags for packing rice, paddy, sugar, dal, cement etc. With the start of Jute diversification, a large market has developed for the jute yarn, jute fabrics and other jute based products. With the market assistance of JMDC and NCJD a large production base of small and cottage sector units have come up with a wide variety of products and are sold through exhibitions organized by different agencies. Both NCJD and JMDC have their own development schemes to support jute entrepreneurs beginning from imparting “Basic Training Programme”, “Advance Training Programme”, “Advance Training cum Design Dissemination Programme”, “Technical demonstration” and “Buyer Seller Meet”. They are also assisting the jute entrepreneurs to sell their products through different Trade Fairs/Exhibitions in the country. JMDC is also providing marketing assistance to jute entrepreneurs by providing them stalls in the trade fairs/exhibitions in the domestic market as well as in the foreign markets.
