Jute is used chiefly to make cloth for wrapping bales of raw cotton, and to make sacks and coarse cloth. The fibers are also woven into curtains, chair coverings, carpets, area rugs, hessian cloth, and backing for linoleum.

Jute is the most important bast crop. It is the cheapest of all the fibres. It is cheap because of large yields per hectare.
It is used for manufacturing gunny bags and hessian etc. It does not command high price.
Jute bags are required for storage, transporting and shipping of wheat, sugar, rice, cotton, wool, cement etc. More than 75% of jute manufacturings are used for packing agricultural products. Jute is also used for making rugs, carpets, ropes, strings and even cloth. The jute fibre has the quality of softness, length, strength and lustre.
Jute is native to India. Undivided India enjoyed monolopy in jute production and jute manufacturings.
The fibre is obtained after peeling off the skin of the plant, which had been soaked in pond water for some days. The length of the jute fibre may be as long as three metres which can be bleached and dyed to any desired colour and shade.
Jute farming is mainly done in the intensive subsistence agricultural regions of south-east Asia. Although Jute is grown in many countries yet, Bangladesh and India produce about 97 per cent of world's total jute output.
Jute is a tropical plant. It requires high rainfall and high temperature. It grows the best where rainfall is seasonal and more than 170 cm per year and where the temperatures are more than 27°C. The plant needs more than 75 per cent relative humidity during the growing period.
