Jute — world’s foremost bast fibre, II. Technology, marketing, production and utilization

Economic Botany volume 10, pages 203–240 (1956)Cite this article

Abstract

Jute fibre is the world’s principal material in manufacturinǵ coarse textile for conversion into sackinǵ and canvas. It enters also into the production of upholstery, ruǵs, carpets and roofinǵ fabrics. Secondary products are food from its tender shoots, medicines from its dried leaves, fuel and paper from its stems, and oil from its seeds.
