Advantages of the Jute: Jute fiber is 100% bio-degradable and compostable. One hectare of jute plants can consume about 15 tons of CO2 and release about 11 tons of oxygen during the jute growing season. Jute fiber is the cheapest vegetable fiber procured from the bast or skin of the plant's stem. Globally jute is the second most important vegetable fibre after cotton in regard to terms of usage, production, and availability. Jute fiber has high tensile strength, low extensibility, and ensures better breathability compared to synthetics. Jute produces top quality yarn, fabric, and sacks. It is one of the most versatile natural fibers used for packaging, textiles, and agricultural sectors. Jute is a renewable resource with a high production per hectare. The best source of jute in the world is the Bengal Delta Plain in the Ganges Delta, most of which is occupied by Bangladesh. The production of polypropylene fiber, the main synthetic competitor of jute, requires 10-20 times more energy consumption than does the production of jute. Jute has the ability to be blended with other fibers, both synthetic and natural, and accepts various dyes such as natural, basic, vat, sulfur, reactive, and pigment dyes. As the demand for natural fibers increase, the demand for jute and other natural fibers that can be blended with cotton will increase. Combined jute/cotton blends may produce fabrics with a reduced cost of wet processing treatments. Jute can also be blended with wool. The growing of jute provides an income for more than 4 million farming families in poor communities.
Disadvantages of the Jute :
The crease resistance of Jute is very low. Drape Property is not good enough. Create Shade effect and becomes yellowish if sunlight is used. If Jute is wetted it lose it’s strength.

XI. Conclusion
This is a story of a golden fiber. The people twined gold fibers through hard labor and lived off the salt earned through sweat on the soil. The fiber was the gold flowing in the veins of Bengal, sustaining the farmers through the wealth that flowed into the land from exporting Jute. Jute, that lost its dominance to negligence, misappropriation and mismanagement. It looked destined to become another 'muslin' of the east story - a mere nostalgic remembrance and faint sense of pride in what is our golden heritage. A drop of tear in a pool that has dried husk in the sun. The worth on the environment that plastic has brought had escaped the eye of the world for so long - but no more. The earth has a mission to turn green and is looking to escape the grasp of in-disposable incurable substance. The return to Jute, as a natural substance for the need has reinvigorated the land. The tears of loss of the heritage has been wiped with a joyous return to the foray. This is the high time, that we have to ensure the best technology, information and linkage for Bangladesh is in place to dominate the world market.
