INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
INDUSTRY
Definition
A basic category of business activity. The term industry is sometimes used to describe a
very precise business activity (e.g. semiconductors) or a more generic business activity
(e.g. consumer durables). If a company participates in multiple business activities, it is
usually considered to be in the industry in which most of its revenues are derived
INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
Definition
A market assessment tool designed to provide a business with an idea of the complexity
of a particular industry. Industry analysis involves reviewing the economic, political and
market factors that influence the way the industry develops. Major factors can include the
power wielded by suppliers and buyers, the condition of competitors, and the likelihood
of new market entrants
JUTE INDUSTRY ANALYSIS8
Jute is the most versatile fiber gifted to man by nature. Known mainly as the raw material
for making sacks, jute finds extensive use in the making of handicrafts today.
The products like bags, home furnishing, apparel, textile industrial goods, carpets &
handicrafts are made of the ECO-friendly natural fiber are JUTE PROD UCTS
HISTORY OF JUTE INDUSTRY

Indian Jute Industry
The jute industry occupies an important place in the Indian economy. Providing direct
employment to about 0.26 million workers and around 4.0 million workers indirectly in
the allied sectors, Indian jute industry is an integral part of the Indian Textile Industry. It
is a very old industry, predominant in the eastern part of India. The Government has
included the Jute Sector for special attention in its National Common Minimum
Programme.
Jute Technology Mission
The Government of India has started the "Jute Technology Mission" keeping in view the
growing contribution of the industry to the economy. This will benefit jute growers, the
workers engaged in the sector, jute entrepreneurs and others employed in related
activities. It will play a vital role in modernizing the jute industry and help the country to
reap the benefits of enhanced levels of jute diversification.
Jute Mills
Jute mills comprising the industry are located in West Bengal (the maximum number of
mills is here), Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Orissa, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Tripura and
Chhattisgarh. India has around 78 jute mills and the eastern state of West Bengal alone
has around 61 jute mills. The central government owns 6 jute mills, the state government
4, 2 jute mills are under cooperatives, and 64 jute mills are under private ownerships.
Earnings
This industry today accounts for a turnover of Rs 6,500 crore annually, contributing to
exports to the tune of nearly Rs.1000 crore. In the financial year 2006-07 (April-
September) exports of total jute products was at 104.3 thousand M.T whose value was
Rs. 583.55 crore.

Production of jute goods during 2000-01 was an all time record of 16.78 lakh tonnes as
against 14 lakhs tonnes in 1998-99. Production during 1999-2000 (April/Oct.) also
recorded a marginal increase by 1% to reach 9.37 lakh tonnes from 9.32 lakh tonnes
during the same period of last year. This increase in production is attributable to
comfortable raw jute availability at reasonable rates at the beginning of the current year,
stable domestic demand and consequent normal functioning of jute mills. If the current
trend is maintained, production of jute goods is likely to touch around 16 lakh tonnes.

TURNOVER
Jute industry alone accounts for an annual turnover of Rs 6,500 crore and the value of
export of total jute products is nearly Rs1000 crore.
The Indian jute industry with a turnover of Rs 5,500 crore is finding more takers for
bio-degradable, eco-friendly jute made-ups both in the domestic and international
17
markets. The rising demand for value-added jute products has encouraged SME jute
players to go for diversification and modernization of their product base.
“Although the jute sector’s mainstay will be packaging material for agro-food
commodities, the small-scale units in the industry also need to expand their product
lines and enter into the production of non-traditional jute items such as soil saver,
decorative fabrics and special Hessian,” said Hukmi Chand Bang, proprietor of India
Jute Mills, a small-sized jute mill in Murshidabad, West Bengal.
Some small-scale jute mills in the country have already started using the natural fibre
to make a variety of items including fancy party bags, stylish clutch bags, laundry
bags, rucksacks, branded totes, shopping bag s and wine bags.
“Given that the market demand for value-added jute products is robust, most small-
scale units in the industry are looking at ways to take up product diversification,
while many are also making sincere attempts to revamp their stores and modernise
their machineries and equipments,” said Sanjay Dhelia, proprietor of Aaltex
International, a leading Kolkata-based manufacturer and exporter of jute products,
especially different types of fashionable jute bags.
Besides small jute players making an attempt to modernise their units, the Jute
Manufactures Development Council (JMDC) is also doing its bit by initiating a
massive modernisation drive in the jute sector to enable jute units to diversify their
product portfolio.
PROFITABILITY
18
The Indian jute industry, which dates back to over a century, is one of the oldest
industries in the country. Dominated primarily by small-sized players, the industry is
an important generator of revenue and employment for a large section of the rural
population. Over the years, owing to increasing demand in international markets, the
industry has become largely export-oriented.
Although the market for Indian jute products has witnessed moderate growth in the
last decade, several factors have prevented it from expanding further. Some of these
factors include poor technology and stiff competition from Bangladeshi exporters.
In addition, the global economic recession has led to declining sales for most jute
exporters.
Notwithstanding the turmoil in the international markets, Indian jute exporters have
been reporting healthy margins in recent times. This can be attributed largely to the
sudden surge in demand for Indian jute products in the UK.
India’s jute exports in 2008-09 stood at an impressive Rs 200 crore, significantly
higher than the Rs 120 crore reported in 2007-08. Notably, a considerable share of
Indian jute products was exported to the European market.
According to market experts, the ban on plastic and non-biodegradable bags in the
UK has been the key factor behind the sudden increase in jute exports from India.
Moreover,
The volumes of jute exports from Bangladesh have been low due to poor monsoons
and crop failures. This has put the Indian SMEs in the jute segment in an
advantageous position.
To capitalise on the rising popularity and demand for Indian jute products, Indian
SMEs should focus on producing different varieties of jute items. They should also
ensure that their products are competitively priced in order to compete with the
Bangladeshi
19
TOTAL DEMAND AND SUPPLY OF JUTE INDUSTRY
Though jute and jute products are enjoying growth in global demands, its production
has not increased accordingly, since paddy is coming out as a more lucrative harvest
for jute producers.
Even if the current market price for raw jute is Rs. 2,000-2,200 per quintal, the
harvesters are switching over to paddy production as they can generate more income
through it.
This is creating an acute gap between the demand and supply of jute, said Mr. AK
Barua, Marketing Manager Jute Corporation of India (JCI). Demand of various
procurement agencies for raw jute has increased to 2.4-2.5 million bales per year,
which was around 1.5 million bales before 2 years.

Demand for jute and jute products is rising across the world due to the awareness among
people regarding the benefits of the products made from eco-friendly materials such as
jute, said Mr. TK Mandal, Deputy Director, office of the jute commissioner
Around 70-75 percent of total jute production of the country is consumed domestically,
however, according to the Textile Minister Mr. Dayanidhi Maran, markets for jute should
also be developed in foreign countries as it’s a right time for jute fiber to cash on the
global trend in support of natural fibre.
He added that the stakeholders need to take efforts, such as modernizing work process
21
and exploring new markets, to make jute products price competitive. Jute producers have
not exploited the benefits of the technology up-gradation funds scheme, he added
INDUSTRY PRACTICES
DISTRIBUTION
. Under the Jute Packaging Materials Act, 1987
(JPM Act), the Government is empowered to consider and provide for the compulsory
of jute packaging material in the supply and distribution of certain commodities in
theinterests of production of raw jute and jute packaging material and of persons
engaged in
the production thereof and for matters connected therewith.
Sacking of Food grain and Sugar consumes approximately 58% of the raw jute produced
in the country. The jute sector occupies an important place in the economy of India in
General and eastern sector in particular. It is estimated that the jute industry provides
Directs employment to 0.37 million workers in organized mills and in diversified units
Including tertiary sector and allied activities and supports the livelihood of around 4.0
Million farm families. Therefore, there is a need for protection in the form of reserving
22
Certain commodities for packaging in jute.
PROMOTION
Promoting arrangements for better marketing and sale of jute.
Suggesting norms of efficiency for jute industry aiming at optimum production, cost
reduction, quality improvement and product standardization.
Devising marketing strategy for maintaining and improving of existing markets and
development of new markets outside India for jute manufactures.

INDUSTRY ENVIORMENT
JUTE INDUSTRY LIFE CYCLE
Till 1947 Indian jute mills dominated the world jute market with 70% of its products
finding place in the global market. It was after the partition in 1947 when almost all jute
producing area went under East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) causing decline to Indian jute
market. At the same time, major jute consuming nations switched to bulk handling
systems and developed alternate synthetic packing materials. Two other issues faced by
Indian jute industry were:
(a) Dependence for raw jute on East Pakistan.
(b) Rapid decline of export market.
Gradually, jute goods exports declined by 30% from 70%. In spite of constraints, jute
goods production showed a gradual increment. In 1947, the total jute production was 10
lakhs MT and the same figure was 16.2 lakhs in 2003 MT respectively. In five decades,
Indian Jute industry expanded by 62%. In recent times plastic bags substituted jute bags
and thus jute was in the verge of extinction. In order to revamp jute industry, in 1987
Government of India reserved the packing of traditional commodities, viz, sugar, food
grains with jute material by proclaiming the Mandatory Jute Packaging Act (PJMA)
1987. Today PJMA is restricted to 100% coverage for sugar & foodgrains, which is the
main bread earner for the industry. Now, in the face of multidimensional threats this
industry is again confronted with danger of extinct.
24
.
NATURE OF COMPETITION
. There is an expansion of the market for jute composite products and geo-textiles in both
the domestic and International sectors. Continued and focused attention will be given to
handicrafts, which will include the upgradation of skills, the creation of a better work
environment, design and technology intervention, and the development of clusters for
specific crafts with common service facilities, and the overall improvement of
infrastructure, and market development.
• A full-fledged Design and Development Centre, and dedicated retail outlets in public-
private initiative mode for diversified jute products in all the towns and cities with a
population of more than 5 lakhs will be established
Domestic Marketing:
Considering the immense potential of jute products in the domestic market, focused
attention will be given to untapped sectors. The thrust will be on adopting suitable
market promotion programmes for increasing consumer awareness, and highlighting the
environmental advantages of jute by working closely with environment groups.
International Marketing
With the objective of increasing exports to Rs.5000 crore by 2010 from the present level
of Rs.1000 crores:
• A multi-disciplinary institutional mechanism will be established to formulate policy
measures and specific action plans, including those relating to the WTO and for closely
monitoring financing proposals;
25
• Strategic alliances will be forged with an aim to gain access to technology;
• A brand equity fund, exclusively for jute and jute products will be set up. This will be
consistent with WTO norms;
• The proposed Jute Board will incorporate an Export Promotion Council which will play
the role of facilitator and professional consultant for dealing with disputes under various
agreements of the WTO, establishing warehousing facilities in major jute and jute
product importing countries, and identifying the existing patent issues with a view to
patenting Indian R&D efforts
MARKETING STRATEGIES
HC Bang, Proprietor, India Jute Mills, says, “Earlier, jute items were used as
sacks for packing food grains, cement, wheat and sugar, but today it is used for
different purposes and is considered very fashionable. Designers and handicraft
artisans are using the natural fibre for making a variety of items including fancy
party bags, stylish clutch bags, laundry bags, rucksacks, branded totes, shopping
bags and wine bags.
The rising popularity of jute items has prompted small and mid-sized
companies to revamp their processes, introduce better designs and adopt new
marketing strategies. Jute companies have begun exploring various solutions
to improve their process technology and expand their product base to woo
international buyers.
As M Mukherjee, Spokesperson, Basu Exports, says, “Keeping in view the
increasing market demand for green goods, we are largely focusing on the
optimum usage of eco-friendly geo-jute and soil savers. In addition, we are also
working towards increasing our productivity and diversifying our product
range.”
26
Besides, the government has also begun taking initiatives to help small jute
companies upgrade their manufacturing processes and modernise their units.
The Jute Manufactures Development Council (JMDC) has already initiated a
massive modernisation drive in the jute sector to enable jute units to diversify
their product portfolio.
SWOT analysis of jute industry
Despite its fortune on decline, jute is an emerging niche market with plenty of
opportunities for growth and the future of jute lies in its scope of work, declare
Pooja Sharma, Neeraj Kaushik and K N Chaterjee, mooting proposals for the
industry's revamp.
Twenty-first century witnessed a new resurgent and resolute Indian industry in
terms of volume as well as in quality. India has become a hub of not only
Information Technology, Textile, Bio-Technology but also of Leather,
Automobile and other Industries. India experienced the economic growth of 8 -
9% per annum. The progress of industry has not been achieved overnight but it is
the effect of sustained and gradual efforts by the government & its associate
bodies.
Textile & garment industry is among the second highest employment provider in
India after agriculture. It is the mother industry in India, like most of the
industrialised nations, and given the present economic development, it has the
potential to propel the economy at least for next few decades. With the ATC
(Agreement on Textile & Clothing) agreement under WTO (World Trade
Organisation), the global textile industry is presenting enormous potential, at the
same time challenges for nations.
Traditionally India's core competence is in garment sector, however increasing
competition necessitates her to explore new arena and develop her competence
there. Jute industry in this regard presents a vast scope. Jute exists in nature as
27
weeds. The word jute was used by Roxburgh, Superintendent, Botanical Garden,
Shibpur, West Bengal in 1795 in his letter to the Board of Directors, East India
Company. At that time Oriya word 'Jote' or 'Jhuta' was used for this type of fibre.
Thus, the word jute was the anglicised version of these words. Jute is a natural
vegetable fibre under the category of bast fibres like flax, hemp, kenaf and ramie.
Jute is annually renewable plant belonging to the genus Corchorus of the order
Tiliacea. For commercial use two species, viz, Corchorus olitorious and
Corchorus capsularis, commonly known as Tossa and white jute respectively are
produced.
In the year 1832 - 33, a spinner in Dundee, UK successfully spun jute yarn of
acceptable quality using machinery in blends with other fibres. After a year or
two, 100% jute yarn was spun easily by applying whale oil and water in the
process. Later in 1855, the first jute mill was established in India, near the present
Hasting Jute Mill.. In a span of 10 years Indian jute goods took over the Dundee
jute goods in world market. Thus started decline of Dundee jute mills and last mill
was closed down in 1996.
At present, an average of 9,71,000 hectares of land is under raw jute cultivation,
and the production of raw jute has been 10,940 thousand bales for last four years.
There are 77 jute mills in India out of which 60 are in West Bengal followed by
Andhra Pradesh where 7 mills are established. The average production of jute has
been 1,597 thousand tons per year and its domestic demand has been 1,372
thousand tons per annum. There are 9 units of jute which are working as 100%
export oriented units, and the average export of jute for last four years have been
286 thousand tons or Rs 10,746 million per annum.
Jute Industry: Growth & Decline
Till 1947 Indian jute mills dominated the world jute market with 70% of its products
finding place in the global market. It was after the partition in 1947 when almost all jute
28
producing area went under East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) causing decline to Indian jute
market. At the same time, major jute consuming nations switched to bulk handling
systems and developed alternate synthetic packing materials. Two other issues faced by
Indian jute industry were:
Gradually, jute goods exports increased by 30% to 70%. In spite of constraints, jute
goods production showed a gradual increment. In 1947, the total jute production was 10
lakhs MT and the same figure was 16.2 lakhs in 2003 MT respectively [6]. In five decades,
Indian Jute industry expanded by 62%. In recent times plastic bags substituted jute bags
and thus jute was in the verge of extinction. In order to revamp jute industry, in 1987
Government of India reserved the packing of traditional commodities, viz, sugar, food
grains with jute material by proclaiming the Mandatory Jute Packaging Act (PJMA)
1987. Today PJMA is restricted to 100% coverage for sugar & foodgrains, which is the
main bread earner for the industry. Now, in the face of multidimensional threats this
industry is again confronted with danger of extinct
For the successful revamp of Indian Jute Industry, a turnaround strategy is the need of the
hour. The authors have endeavoured to critically analyse the strengths, weaknesses,
opportunity and threats (SWOT Analysis) of this industry.
STRENTHS
Jute is a labor intensive industry, which engages 4.35 million people.
Jute industry has lot of potential of providing employment especially in East
Indian region. The industry offers employment opportunity to 7,500 persons per
year, besides more opportunity lie ahead in expansion of existing capacity in new
mills that are coming up in SSI and MSI.
Jute is an eco-friendly and biodegradable product. With the pressure from green
movement, it is going to sustain through consumer's preference.
29
WEAKNESS
Frequent revision of PJMA guidelines (to add or dilute items for jute packing)
leaves the industry in confusion whether to invest further on the Jute technology
development/product development/market expansion or wait for new policies etc.
Though jute industry is a labour intensive, wages represent 35% of total
conversion cost of jute industry, which evades the profit margins.
Multi unionism is one of the major problems faced by jute industry and engages
major concentration of routine management in resolving labour dispute.
The machinery used in jute industry is old and obsolete with age of machinery
ranging between 40 - 150 years. They have lost their capacity to produce quality
products and in spite of routine maintenance, fail to yield standard machine
production. In fact, the 150 years old industry with 75% obsolete machinery is
tagged as "Sunset industry" with "Vintage machinery". Though National Jute
Policy, 2005, aims at revamping the domestic jute industry through modernisation
& by upgrading technology, only a few mills could utilise the fund provided by
Jute Manufacturers and Development Council (JMDC) for modernising theirplant
and machinery plant partly. Thus JMDC had to return major part of the fund, ie,
Rs 80 crores after using less than Rs 10 crores. The Government has ear-marked
Rs 75 lakhs per year per mill for capital investment in modernisation but industry
feels it is inadequate for an average mill and wants it to be raised to Rs 2 crores.
Another weakness of jute industry is poor Research & Development (R&D)
initiation, invention/reverse engineering effort has been grossly neglected in this
sector. The reasons for this are lack of farsightedness & forward planning on the
part of government and industry.
30
Marketing has been another weak point of jute industry. It has been maintaining a
very slow pace in coming out of traditional way of marketing. Time has come for
the industry to think how to market this versatile, eco-friendly and natural fibre.
Government can only give initiation in product development and test marketing
but the follow-up rests on the industry.
Within the country, wage for workers varies from Rs 50 - Rs 250 per manday.
Government must take immediate steps in this concern and formulate need based
wage structure for jute sector. While doing so, there should be productivity linked
payment. Payment by result is a universally accepted phenomenon and accepted
by ILO. Trade Unions in the jute sector agree on it but at plant level, same unions
resist, thereby causing labour productivity to be lower than standard.
Indian jute has not been able to build brand image for jute that goes with the
quality.
Opportunites:
In many areas Indian Jute industry is ahead of other jute producing and manufacturing
countries viz.
It has learned how to upgrade a lower grade fibre in the batch mix.
It also leads in diversified value added products.
The Government at the centre and at state has pro-jute mindset. They have plans
for taking jute industry to new horizon. This is evident from National Jute Policy
2005 which targets to reach export Rs 5,000 crores in the 11th fine year plan
from present amount of Rs 1,000 crores.
Brazil is one of the major importers of Indian Jute, and is estimated to have a
market of 25,000 tonnes of foodgrains, and few of Indian jute bag producers have
been awarded zero duty which opens new doors to other industry producers[12].
31
Industry should accomplish Total Quality Management so as to build quality in
the products.
One of the major threats faced by Indian jute industry/producers is from
Bangladesh Jute industry, which is armed with 7% cash subsidy on all items of
jute products without any string.
Withdrawal of Export Subsidy Assistance (ESA) from 1 April, 2007 has been a
setback to the export of Indian Jute industry.
The Union Cabinet Committee for Economic Affairs (EA) has approved the
continuation of Technical Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS) for next 5 year plan
2007 - 12 for Indian Textile industry including jute industry. The size of
investment is projected at Rs 1,506 crores for this period but it is understood that
jute sector may not get its due share from TUFS money, particularly for jute
machinery modernisation and for upgrading technology.
The Department of Food and Public Distribution (DFPD) has issued orders for
packaging paddy and coarse grains in used gunny bags which is a violation of
Jute Packaging Material Act, 1987, which is considered as threat by jute industry.
As the synthetic lobby is gaining power there is a pressure on government to
dilute jute reservation norms from existing 70% to 30% for grains and from 75%
to 25% for sugar. Though the government has not made the revision yet, this
pressure on government is a threat to jute industry.
Recent government decision to withdraw 10% import duty on jute and jute
products to nil with effect from January 1, 2008, is seen as a threat by the
industry..
The competitive environment that international business face is, to a certain
extent, a function of technological environment and the degree of technological
innovations attributed to the competitive environment. With markets and
32
competition going global, firms and nations are trying to understand the
implications for their competitive strategies. Indian Jute industry .
Jute is a golden fibre. Being a natural, bio-degradable and eco-friendly fibre, jute
can be blended with other compatible fibres for providing better
physicalchemical, thermal, comfort and other important properties required for
other applications.
The inherent negative surface characteristics of jute fibres like itching problem,
comfort characteristics, etc, can be modified through bio-technology and
scientific techniques.
Till today, jute fibre is being considered as a cheap fibre, and its uses are only
restricted to the jute granny bags, low-quality house-hold articles. It is the
requirement of the whole world for producing value added products out of jute
material.
The application area of jute need to be enlarged, ie, jute should be used in new
areas like agro-textile, geo-textile, technical textile as well as home textile.
Marketing and promotion of jute has been a major problem, and so the
government and industry should come forward and take adequate steps in this
direction like highlighting its eco-friendly and biodegradable characteristics.
Labour problem is one of the major problems faced by the jute industry. For its
solution government and industry should device a tri-party agreement between
government, mill owners and the trade unions, so as to overcome loss of work by
strikes, lockouts, law off, closure of mill, etc.
Jute Research Association such as JTRL, IJIRA, Institute of Jute Technology
should come forward for better utilisation of resources like jute raw material,
manpower and machinery and equipment for the betterment of jute industry.
33
The future of jute lies in its scope of work. A detailed research by government
organisations like JRTL, IJIRA and Institute of Jute Technology, Research
Scholars and students in the following areas like Survey on Raw Material, Survey
on Fibre and Survey on Marketing need to be undertaken. Research on
cultivation and marketing of jute, jutefibre, jute promotion and jute blended
products is required to be done, not merely to enhance the sphere of jute but also
to give the industry a new zone to expand.
The Indian jute industry is having lots of opportunity by its side; It is not only
one of the oldest industries of India but also among the major employer of the
nation. There are a lot of strengths and also much opportunity to grab them but it
could only be done if it overcomes its weaknesses and threats. Jute, the golden
fibre, has a potential of reaching the height where it used to be in the past, but it
is only possible through constant efforts by government and a proper follow-up
by the industry. After all, converting your threats into your opportunities is the
success mantra for the millennium.
HR PRACTICES
There are 73 jute mills in the country, of which 59 are situated in West Bengal, 3
each in Bihar and UP, 4 in Andhra Pradesh and 1 each in Assam, Orissa, Tripura
and MP. At the end of October, 1998, the total number of looms installed in the
industry stood at 44035 and installed spindles at 546836 on the fine side and
84612 on the coarse side. These jute mills employ around 2.32 lakh workers. The
maximum achievable spinning capacity in the organised mill sector is estimated
to be of the order of 18.6 lakh tonnes per annum. As on 23.11.98, only six mills
were lying closed. Out of these six mills two mills namely , Kanpur Jute Udyog
in UP and Katihar Jute in Bihar are lying closed for more than 12 years. These
two closed mills had employed a total of 2340 workers before closure.
34
With the rise of inescapable competition facing the Indian jute sector, both in the
international and domestic markets, it will be the endeavour of the Government
to facilitate upgrading the skills of both workers, and supervisors and managerial
staff who are employed in the jute industry. The Government will support
programmes of organisations and institutions engaged in HRD that address the
professional manpower needs of the industry, as well as at the cutting edge level
of workers and shop-floor supervisors. Institutions will be encouraged to
network and pool their resources and co-operate amongst themselves. IT will
become an integral part of the HRD effort recognizing its vital role in a
progressively IT driven global economic environment.
RECENT ISSUES AND DEVELOPMENT
The a view to streamline the supply of jute bags, the Indian Jute Mills Association
(IJMA) has sought third party study on logistics issues connected with the
despatch of jute goods.
The association has pointed out that the third party study needs to be
commissioned at the earliest by the Directorate General of Supply and Disposal
(DGS&D) to overcome the problem
The issues pertaining to logistics of the dispatch of jute bags were taken up in a
meeting held on Monday between VP Gupta, deputy director general (S&D) and
the representatives of IJMA.
Domestic Market Development
Promoting arrangements for better marketing and sale of jute.
Organisation of domestic exhibitions and sales.
35
Collaboration with the apex state and central marketing agencies and jointly
organising show rooms, exhibition etc.
Holding of seminars, workshops and live demonstration.
Grant of financial support to jute training institutions.
Running of promotional offices.

Changing scenario of Jute industry
At present, jute has been defined as an eco-friendly natural fiber with utmost
versatility ranging from low value geo-textiles to high value carpet, apparel,
composites, decoratives, upholstery furnishings etc.
36
In future, a number of jute mills and mini-jute plants have been seen to be
engaged in jute products and jute blended yarns. We all know that the uses of jute
are manifold, with the traditional usage pattern remaining constricted to packing,
hessian and carpet backing.
The jute sector in India engages a key role in the Indian economy, providing
direct employment to about 0.26 million workers, and supporting the lives of
around 4.0 million farm families. Around 0.14 million people are believed to be
engaged in the tertiary sector, that supports the jute industry. Currently it also
contributes to exports to the tune of about Rs. 1000 crore.
EXPORT GROWTH
India's jute goods export increased by over 45 per cent in March 2009 to 15
million dollar as compared to 28 million dollar in the same period last year owing
to poor off take in major markets of the US and Europe. During 2008-09, the jute
product shipments fell 9.5 per cent to 296 million dollar from 327 million dollar
in the previous fiscal, according to the official data.
The major jute exportable items from India are Hessain, floor coverings and
shopping bags. Industry experts feel that besides less orders from the US and
European markets, hit by the global economic crisis, the sector is also facing
37
tough competition from its neighbour -- Bangladesh -- which enjoys an
advantage of natural fibre and commands a bigger share than India in the global
jute market
Export Promotion Bureau (EPB) statistics shows that jute goods worth US$30.20
lakh exported to Australia in fiscal year 2008-09 while the total export to the
country was US$901.39 lakh. The country’s overall export of jute goods in fiscal
year 2008-09 was US$269.25 million
Jute sector employs about four million farm families, besides providing direct
employment to about 2.6 lakh industrial workers and livelihood to another 1.4
lakh persons in the tertiary sector and allied activitie.

JANATA JUTE MILL Ltd
PROFILE
Janata Jute Mills Ltd., is a public limited company, which was established in the year
1966, in the wake of Bengali nationalism. The factory is located in Polash, Ghorashal in
the district of Narsingdi. It is situated on the bank of river Sita-Lakshya, which is about
45 k.m. north-east of Dhaka city on the Dhaka-Sylhet highway covering an area of
50acres of land.
The factory’s trial production commenced in 1968 and commercial production in
1969.The unit had an installed capacity of 150 Hessian and 100 sacking looms primarily
weaving to produce and export Hessian cloth and sacking bags having annual weaving
production capacity of 9,000 tons per annum.
After the emergence of Bangladesh, government’s policy towards socialism it was
nationalised in May, 1972. For long ten years it was under government management. But
in 1982 the then government took a bold decision to denationalise the jute mills which
were 100% owned by Bangladeshis. So Janata Jute Mill Ltd, was handed over to its
original Bangladeshi owners on 10th, January 1983.
After denationalization, the company immediately went into expansion by adding 18
Hessian looms under its expansion plan. But due to change in the global economic
43
scenario and closing down of the jute spinning in Europe, the company took the
opportunity to import second-hand jute mill machinery for producing jute yarn for the
carpet industries in Europe. This is how the jute yarn manufacturing section came into
existence.
The first yarn unit started production in 1986 with 16 spinning frames and a production
capacity of 12 tons per day of specialized jute yarn for the carpet industries. The unit has
the capacity to manufacture jute yarn from 3.5 lbs. (8.2nm) to 16 lbs (1.8nm) of 1 to 3
plies for specialized carpet industrie
