India ranks first in its production. Jute has paved its way into geo and industrial textiles. It has several advantages as eco-friendly nature, high tensile strength, low extensibility, and ensures better breathability of fabrics. Mainstreaming of this fibre will help India in generating revenue from its sale and will provide employment to farmers.
