From the start of the civilization process
to keep up with the pace of modern lifestyle.
we are continuously using various kinds of products.
But under the grinding of daily activities,
we often fail to realize how unique these products are.
Jute products are no exception.
Our famous golden fibre
is related to life of millions of people.
Life of around 40 million people revolves around jute cultivation, retting, extraction of fibre and processing.
With the change of time, this sector is also becoming industrialized.
Different types of jute made goods receive critical appreciation both in domestic and foreign markets.
As a result, many small and medium enterprises have started growing,
where production of handmade jute papers, jute handloom fabrics and different handicraft products are going on.
Jute is such a crop or element
which could contribute immensely to our economy
if we can ensure proper utilization.
The contribution of jute in earning foreign currencies
has been growing every year.
Bangladesh supplies almost 78% of the global jute market.
Due to helpful climate conditions and available cheap labor,
Bangladesh is a very suitable place for jute industry.
I am working here for 8 years
Through this work, I have raised my siblings and sent my children school.
I also saved Tk. 50,000 in the bank.
We are living and maintaining on this work.
Small and medium entrepreneurs seek organizational help for the development of this industry.
I have started making jute products from 2007.
If this sector gets government supports
then growth of our work could be enhanced.
To raise public awareness in this regard
many government and non-government organizations are working.
We are noticing that currently demand for jute products is increasing in the global market.
We are working to meet these demands appropriately.
We encourage those SMEs who are supplying these jute products.
We are helping those who could make handicraft products
We are helping from the beginning,
how to start a business, what products to choose
what types of products to develop, what skills are required.
Jute also provides environmental benefits.
Demand for jute products is increasing worldwide.
People are becoming aware
that our earth will not survive very long with artificial fibres, artificial things.
This is a very eco-friendly product
so if we could promote jute in the domestic market successfully
we believe that it will play a vital role in reviving the jute sector.
Due to their eco-friendliness, jute products are gaining appeal to the young generation.
If we, the young generation do not use jute products, then who will do it?
Even housewives are not lagging behind, thanks to the satellite channels.
These homemakers of our country and even of foreign countries
appreciate the eye-catching beauty of these products.
The design are so nice
I have never seen so nice design.
Though jute as a material is conventional,
it can adjust to any time in unconventional ways to conform to product diversity.
People behind this potential industry just want job security.
Some days we have work and some days we don't.
This becomes very difficult for us.
If you could ensure work for all the time, it would be very good for us.
These amazing jute products can place us in a new position in the global context.
The raw materials we use, if these are easily available
then the export will increase further in future.
In making this world a better place for the generations to come,
this golden fibre can play a vital role.
