India Imposes Stock Limits on Jute Amidst Record High Prices
Jute, a plant fiber used for making things like bags, has gotten very expensive.
Because of this, the government is telling businesses how much raw jute they can keep.
This is to make sure there's enough jute for everyone, especially the mills that make jute products.
The price increase is partly due to a ban on jute imports from Bangladesh, as well as lower inventory.
The restrictions aim to prevent hoarding and keep prices from going even higher.
Some industry insiders believe this could be challenging for mills due to the high costs and limited supply.
The Office of Jute Commissioner has imposed stock limits on raw jute.
Raw jute prices have reached a record high.
Balers are restricted to holding a maximum of 2,000 quintals of raw jute.
Mills' raw jute stocks are restricted to no more than 45 days' consumption.
India previously banned imports of jute products from Bangladesh.
