2.1.3. Jute fiber
Jute take nearly 3 months, to grow to a height of 12–15 ft, during
season and then cut & bundled and kept immersed in water for
‘‘Retting’’ process, where the inner stem and outer, gets separated
and the outer plant gets ‘individualized’, to form a Fiber. Then the
plant get separated and washed to remove dust from the plant.
The fiber after drying is taken to Jute mills, for getting converted
to Jute yarn and Hessian. From the Jute, various lifestyle products
are being produced and diversified into various forms, due to
R&D support and also due the support by Government
Organizations.
