Fire price of raw jute. And that is what the debate is about. On the one hand, the owners of jute mills complain that the price of jute is increasing due to illegal stocks. Disrupting the making of burlap sacks. Business is hurting. On the other hand, jute traders claim that the production of jute has decreased in the current season. On top of that, the farmers are not selling all the jute as they are getting better prices this time as compared to last few years. As a result, the situation is getting complicated in the jute industry of the state.

The Jute Commissioner's Office has issued an order to reduce the stock of raw jute from 1500 quintals to 500 to increase the supply by raising the price of jute from Tk 6,000 per quintal. The Jute Traders' Association (JBA) has warned to stop trading in jute from November 23.

Part of the organization claims that it is difficult to run a business by buying so little jute. Farmers will not get good prices. Some of the mill owners claim that at the district level, 18-20 lakh bales (one bell = 160 kg) are stored in jute warehouses.


But the chatkals are not being sold as per the demand. Traders counter-argument, the lack of jute production in the state has not stopped! However, there are doubts about fulfilling the order of the center.
