Jute Handicrafts and Home Furnishing from Kolkata

Where jute handicrafts and home furnishing sits in the Kolkata jute chain

Raw jute is grown in the Bengal districts and in Assam and Bihar, retted and graded there, then baled and sold into the mill belt that runs along both banks of the Hooghly. A mill batches and softens the fibre, cards and spins it, weaves hessian or sacking, then finishes, cuts and stitches it into bags before dispatch. Government sacking orders and open-market export orders run side by side through the same looms.

Kolkata is not just a market for jute; it is where the mills, the association, the government procurement agency and the export trade all sit within the same city. That concentration is why an order for jute handicrafts and home furnishing is usually placed here even when the mill itself is thirty kilometres upriver.
