Jute

Properties & Types of Jute | Jute Fiber Growing Countries List

There are about 40 species of Jute Plants in all over the world. The commercial Jute Fibers are obtained from two types of Plants known as –
1. Corchorus Capsularies (White Jute)
2. Corchorus Olitorius (Both Tossa and Dessi)

Features and properties of Chorchorus Capsularies Type Jute:

1. This kind of Jute annual plants are grown from seeds.
2. The length of this kind of Jute is 6 to 12 feet long and ½ to ¾ in diameter.
3. Jute leaves are green in Color.

Features and Properties of Corchorus Olitorious Type Jute:

1. Jute annual plants are grown from seeds.
2. About 5 to 10 feet long and ½ to ¾ in Diameter.
3. Jute leaves are green to reddish in color.

List of Jute Growing Countries:

Actually Jute fiber is totally dependant on the weather of an area to be properly grown. The most suitable environment for jute fiber is Bangladesh. This is why Bangladesh is the largest Jute Growing Country in all over the world. Here are some lists of countries who are trying to cultivate Jute and making Jute Fiber.
1. Bangladesh 2. West Bengal, Bihar, Orissa, Assam, Bombay of India 3. Pakistan 4. Nepal 5. Nigeria 6. Brazil 7. Burma 8. Japan 9. Etc.

The Origin of Jute Has Been Discovered By Bangladeshi Researchers

The Genome Sequence of Jute or DNA or Blue Print of Jute has been discovered by some young researchers of Bangladesh. Some students of Bio Chemistry and Bio-technology of Dhaka University along with Data Soft has been discovered the origin of Jute Fiber. The whole research process was under Dr. Maksudul Alam.
The main advantages of discovering the origin of Jute Fiber are- from now it is possible to produce finer jute yarn. In the near future we can hope that, by using the Jute Fiber; various cloths & dresses can be made. If it becomes possible to make clothes from Jute fiber; the environment of our world will be highly benefited, as Jute Fiber is a biodegradable fiber.
We can expect the versatile uses and benefits of Jute Fiber now. Thanks to the scientist who were involved with this fabulous invention.
As we know the Origin of Jute Fiber now; its possible to develop higher classed Jute which will be auto insects protector. Insects are the main enemy of Jute. If insects can be protected at the time of Jute growing; we will definitely get better jute fiber for our textile industry.
This is the first time Bangladesh has completed a successful research on any Textile Related fibers. If the research on Jute that already has been achieved is continued; we can hope, jute fiber can be harvested in the whole season with various new specis, new colors, enhanced heights, and brighter fibers. Because, it’s possible to snatch the idea of generating whole seasonal seeds from the existing jute seeds as we know now how Jute is produced.
If jute fiber is properly developed; it can be great bio-degradable natural fibers in textile world.
