Jute is a natural fibre obtained fromthe bark of the jute plant, can bespun into coarse, strong threads.

It falls into the category of BASTFIBERS.

One of the cheapest natural fibres.

Jute is mainly grown in south Asia and itwas originally called by its Bengali name'PAT' which means a braid of hair.



White Jute is known to have beencultivated in India more than 400 YEARS AGO to be spun into cloth by artisans and

also used in ropes and twines. By the mid 18th century new

technologies emerged and jute fibre wasspun into better quality yarn and woven

to make jute cloth.



Jute is sown and harvested ANNUALY .

The plant can grow to a height of morethan 3 metres and fibre length of upto 2.5

metres. It grows best in MONSOON CLIMATE , as

the cultivation requires plentiful rainfull.

Too little rainfall can reduce the size of thecrop and also affect the quality of the fibre.



Too much rain before the plants reachmaturity may also reduce the size of thecrop.

Temperatures ranging 20˚ C to 40˚ C and relative humidity of 70%–80% arefavourable for successful cultivation. Juterequries 5–8 cm of rainfall weekly with

extra needed during the sowing period



The fibers are

Off-white

Brown



Jute fiber is composed of small units of cellulose surrounded and cementedtogether by lignin and Hemicellulose.

Three main categories of chemicalcompounds:

Cellulose = 58%Cellulose = 58%

Lignin = 12%Lignin = 12%

Hemicellulose = 20%Hemicellulose = 20%



Large-scale spinning of Jute began longLarge-scale spinning of Jute began longtime ago, when machinery used for Flaxtime ago, when machinery used for Flaxspinning was adapted to produce Jutespinning was adapted to produce Juteyarns, using fibre sourced from the Indiayarns, using fibre sourced from the Indiasub-continent. The principal use for thesesub-continent. The principal use for theseyarns was for cheap packaging - the termyarns was for cheap packaging - the term"Gunny bag" derives from a Hindi word -"Gunny bag" derives from a Hindi word -but as Jute spinning industries developedbut as Jute spinning industries developed

in countries across the world, the uses of in countries across the world, the uses of Jute and Jute products expanded rapidly. Jute and Jute products expanded rapidly.



The quality of the fibers and the yarn mostlydepend upon the degumming process.

Three METHODS of Degumming:

Mechanical

ChemicalBiological



Chemical method is mostly used fordegumming but this also has seriousdisadvantage like

Environmental pollution

Lengthy time required

High cost.



There are two types of jute:

TOSSA JUTE

WHITE JUTE



Tossa Jute is known as the "Golden Fibre",from the lustrous appearance of thethreads.

Tossa can range in color from dark toreddish, depending upon the area of cultivation



Bangladesh together with the Indianstate of West Bengal, produces most of the world's Jute fibre.

Other important jute export countriesinclude India, China, Burma (Myanmar),Pakistan, Nepal and Thailand.
