Cotton:

Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Andhra are the chief producers. Before the partition, India was self-sufficient in cotton, and exported a part of it. But after the partition, it has to import cotton to meet the growing requirements of the textile mills. In the field of cotton, India is the first to evolve a cotton hybrid.

Jute:

It is chiefly grown in West Bengal, Assam, Bihar, Orissa and some parts of U.P. India is almost self-sufficient in the production of raw jute; Bangladesh is the largest exporter of raw jute. The jute mills are mostly situated near Kolkata
