jute plant
The jute plant, scientifically known as Corchorus, is a tropical plant primarily grown for its fibers. It thrives in warm, humid climates and is often cultivated in countries like India and Bangladesh. The fibers extracted from the jute plant are strong, biodegradable, and used to make products such as burlap, sacks, and ropes.
Jute is one of the most affordable natural fibers, making it an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic materials. The plant grows tall, reaching heights of up to 3 meters, and is typically harvested during the rainy season. Its cultivation supports the livelihoods of millions of farmers worldwide.
