Description: Introduction to the cultivation, processing, consumption and trade in jute, kenaf and related fibers in East Asia and Latin America. From the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United nations.
Jute and kenaf are cultivated almost exclusively in developing countries of East Asia and in some parts of Latin America. Bangladesh, India and Thailand account for over 90 percent of world production. The fibre is processed mainly in the producing countries themselves and is used for the manufacturing of traditional products such as hessian cloth, food grade bags, carpet backing and other floor covering. Diversified jute products, such as geo-textiles and composites are also manufactured in relatively small quantities. Jute constitutes a low proportion of the value of world trade, but its cultivation and processing is labour-intensive and therefore provides a livelihood and an important source of food security for many farmers and their families in Asia.
