ABOUT Office of The Jute Commissioner;जूट आयुक्त का कार्यालय

Jute is a natural vegetable fibre under the category of bast fibres like flax, hemp, kenaf and ramie. Since ancient times, it has been traditionally grown in the eastern part of the Indian subcontinent, which make up of the present day West Bengal of India and plains of Bangladesh. Jute is an annually renewable plant belonging to the genus Corchorus of the order Tiliacea. Normally, two species viz. Corchorus Olitorious and Corchorus capsularis, commonly known as Tossa and White jute respectively are produced in commercial scale. Another bast fibre crop commonly known as Mesta has two cultivated species – Hibiscus cannabinus and Hibiscus Sabdariffa.

The word jute was first published by Roxburg, the then Superintendent of Botanical Garden, Shibpur, West Bengal in the year 1795, in his letter addressed to the Board of Directors of East India Company. The first jute mill in India was set up in the year 1855 at Rishra, near Kolkata.
