The jute plant is a member of the Mallow family. It is a tall, coarse, and spiny plant that grows to about three meters in height. The stem of the plant has a rough texture and is used for weaving into coarse cloth. Jute can be grown in most places with sufficient rainfall but it thrives best in a tropical climate where there is plenty of rain during the monsoon season.

Jute is an important economic crop because it provides raw material for making ropes, sacks, carpets, and many other products. In Bangladesh alone, more than 2 million people are employed in the jute industry. The raw jute market price today in Raiganj has been increasing gradually over the past few years due to high demand from China and India.
