Jute industry faces crisis in 2025

The jute industry had a tough year in 2025.

There wasn't enough raw jute because farmers started growing other crops like maize, which gave them more money.

This made the price of jute go up a lot.

The government had to let more plastic bags be used for packing food because there weren't enough jute bags.

Many jute mills had to cut back on work, and some even shut down.

The government tried to fix the problem by setting limits on how much jute could be stored, but it didn't help much.

People in the industry say the government didn't do enough to help when prices were low, and now it's too late.
