Answers
Answer:
6) The jute industry is mainly concentrated in West Bengal due to the following reasons: The soil of the Ganga Brahmaputra delta in West Bengal is suitable for the growth of jute and hence many jute industries are located here. West Bengal has a humid climate and rainfall up to 200 cm which is essential for the jute crop.
7) Challenges faced by the industry include stiff competition in the international market from synthetic substitutes and from other competitors like Bangladesh, Brazil, Philippines, Egypt and Thailand. However, the internal demand has been on the increase due to the Government policy of mandatory use of jute packaging.
8) In 2005, the government formulated the National Jute Policy with the objective of increasing productivity, improving quality, ensuring good prices to jute farmers and enhancing the yield per hectare.
9)
1) The tropical climate of Peninsular India results in higher yield per unit hectare of land.
2) Higher sucrose content in peninsular cane.
3)Long crushing season in south. In North India, it lasts from November to February (4 months); while in South it lasts from October to May or even June (nearly 8 months)
10) Major challenges faced by sugar industry include the seasonal nature of the industry, old in efficient methods of production; transport delay in reaching cane to factories and the need to maximise the use of beggase.
