Introduction

The Jute plant is a very useful plant that is widely used in many parts of the world for various purposes. The primary source of jute is a flowering plant namely Corchorus. The suitable soil, which is required for the production of jute, is alluvial soil. The key essential for the survival of jute plants is standing water. The best suitable climate is a warm and wet climate, which is necessary for the bulk production of jute. Jute could be described as the cheapest natural fibres, which could be used to make clothes. The temperature required for jute production varies from 20 degrees Celsius to 40 degrees Celsius.

Jute

Jute could be described as a shiny and long fibre that has the capacity to be spun into threads. The other name for jute is golden fibre because of its golden colour and its affordability. The warm and humid climate is necessary with sufficient rainfall for the production of jute. Jute also requires fertilisers and pesticides for its production.  The most advantageous factors of jute are it is versatile, strong, eco-friendly, anti-static and it could be easily blended with another fibre as well.

The texture is rough but its fine threads are used for the imitation of silk. Jute is another source for alternative usage in the process of paper production. The threads, which are produced out of jute, are very strong in nature. Jute is widely used as a substitute for synthetic fibres for spreading awareness regarding biodegrading. It is the second most popular fibre after cotton.

Jute use

Jute is widely used for its versatility and its ability to be blended with other fibres. Jute also has some insulating properties due to which it is cost-effective. The other advantageous factors about jute are it has thermal conductivity and it has the capacity to retain moisture. The usage of Jute is very famous in the production of jute bags as jute bags are used for packaging goods in bulk quantity. The aspect of the jute bag industry is currently growing due to its ongoing demand in the overseas market. The demand for jute bags is rising because of their biodegradability and durability.

Jute does not require harmful fertilisers and pesticides for its growth and development. Jute majorly depends on rainfall for its growth so it is also known as a rain-fed crop. The production process of jute is a very organic process that does not create any harm to the environment. Jute also has the capability of absorbing carbon dioxide from the environment, which is an added advantage of it. Jute needs high temperatures for its production and growth.

Conclusion

It could be concluded by stating that Jute is widely used in various parts of the world. Jute is also well known for its advantages like its versatility and its cost-effectiveness. The production of Jute is a source of livelihood for many people. Jute has the ability to be blended easily with other fibres as well.
