In India, jute is produced by West Bengal. Jute is known as the second most essential natural fiber after cotton. Jute is used to make jute sack, gunny bags etc. Jute is biodegradable and it is soft, shiny and long fiber that can be easily spun into strong threads.

However, this trade had generally stopped by around 1970 because of the rise of synthetic fibers.
