The jute and textile sector in Bangladesh recently sent a notice to Bangladesh Jute Mills corporation (BJMC) and requested to set up the Jute Industrial villages on unused land in order to diversify the products made from natural fibers. The company has 25 state-owned factories. The department's decision followed the feasibility report submitted by the panel.
According to the report of Bangladeshi media, the panel also recommended the establishment of such industrial villages in private jute factories that violates government contracts. In the past, 34 factories at BJMC were privatized.
The panel found that most of the jute are produced in 16 regions, each producing more than 200,000 bales in 2016-17. The highest jute yield was in Faridpur, followed by Rajbari, Magura, Jamalpur and Kushtia.
The panel also proposed the establishment of small businesses to produce diversified jute products to cater to export markets and job creation.
The idea of developing Jute Industrial villages stems from the concept of existing weaving village, which can promote the development of small and medium-sized enterprises. Such as jute bags and sandals, etc. will be in the village of small-scale processing plant production.
Jute Industry, with nearly 20,000 employees, is Bangladesh's third largest export revenue division, second only to clothing and leather.
