It is unbelievable that car industries around the world need almost 100000 tonnes of biodegradable products like jute, out of which 1o to 20 thousand tonnes are supplied by Bangladesh. If foreign buyers take initiative to set up a eco-friendly product like the jute fiber-based industry in Bangladesh rather than purchasing raw jute, will be given extra facilities from Bangladesh’s point of view. As a result, both the producers and Bangladesh will be benefitted, and the value of jute will accelerate also.   

There are lots of opportunities to convert jute fiber into diversified jute products and expand its market throughout the world. Once upon a time, Bangladesh and jute were similar names, and it was the lifeblood of the country’s economy but after the invention of polypropylene, it lost its glory in the 80^th decade. 

As a result, production dropped down to 9.9 lakh tonnes. Recently, buyers are showing interest to buy bioproducts like jute from Bangladesh, production has gone up to 19.6 lakh tones from 7.58 lakh hectares. Producers of cars think that this is the peak time to concentrate on jute products and search for potential customers. 

This should be reorganized and needs to invest more in production to attract consumers. The tyranny of the middlemen is so great in every case that the poor and helpless peasants are not able to make a profit even after working hard day and night.
