Jute, considered as the "golden fiber" in Bangladesh and a large part of the
region, including China and India, has now made a comeback in this country as
the world realized the extent of the damage to the environment of plastics and
other synthetic substitutes. Demand for jute and jute products rose to a largeextent in Bangladesh since the government banned all plastic bags in March 2002.
The government discovered that plastic materials, which clogged waterways.
Bangladesh used to be one of the largest jute producers in the world in 1950s and
60s, along with India and China. Up to mid-20th century, about 80 percent of the
world's jute was produced in Bangladesh. In fact, jute was the biggest foreign
currency earner in Bangladesh until the 1980s. But in the 1970s, the jute industry
in Bangladesh suffered a huge setback after plastics and other synthetic materials
were increasingly used by large businesses, particularly the shopping malls. Jute
market across the world boomed in the recent years because of extensive global
demand for the eco-friendly fiber made products, which also helped change the
fate of farmers. More and more farmers in Bangladesh like those in many other
countries in the region are now being again encouraged to cultivate the natural
fiber because of soaring global demand.
