Annual yield of jute and mesta in India FY 2014-2024

At the end of the fiscal year 2024, the yield of jute and mesta produced in India was estimated to be over 2,749 kilograms per hectare. This was an increase from the previous fiscal year. The south Asian country is the largest producer of this natural fiber, and the cultivation of jute is primarily in the Ganges delta.  Commercial crop Jute cultivation is mainly concentrated in the eastern and north-eastern states of India, while mesta cultivation is spread across the country. During 2017, the economic contribution of the jute fiber was nearly six percent. As an important cash crop, the cultivation of raw jute crops provides fiber for industrial use, and the jute stick is used as fuel and building material by the farming community. Jute trade Jute is in great demand after cotton due to its versatile nature. Amid the global demand for eco-friendly products, jute stands as a fabric of the future. Even though the country is the leading producer of the fiber, it also imports raw jute to produce diversified products, from its neighboring countries. However, in the fiscal year 2018, the south Asian nation exported jute valued at over 21 billion Indian rupees.

于2024财年之终，印度所产之黄麻与亚麻产量预估已超过每公顷2,749公斤。此数字较上一年度有所增长。作为该天然纤维的主要生产国，南亚次大陆的种植区域主要集中在恒河三角洲。商业作物黄麻种植主要集中于印度的东部及东北部州份，而亚麻种植则遍布全国。在2017年，黄麻纤维的经济贡献率接近六个百分点。作为一项重要的经济作物，原生黄麻作物的种植不仅为工业提供了纤维，其杆材亦被农业社区用作燃料及建筑材料。黄麻贸易由于具有多功能的特性，黄麻的需求仅次于棉花。在全球对环保产品需求日益增长的背景下，黄麻被视为未来布料的代表。尽管该国为纤维的领先生产国，但仍从邻国进口原生黄麻，以生产多样化的产品。然而，在2018财年，该南亚国家出口的黄麻价值超过210亿印度卢比。
