HistoryFrom 17th to 20th century, the jute industry in India was delegated
by the British East India Company which was the first jute trader.
During 20th century, Margaret Donnelly a mill landowner in Dundee
first set up the jute mill in India. In the year 1793 the first
consignment of Jute was exported by East India Company. In the
beginning of year 1830, Dundee spinners have determined spinningof Jute yarn by transfiguring their power driven flax machinery. This
lead to increase in the export and production of raw jute from
Indian sub-continent which was the single supplier of jute. The
major jute growing areas were mainly in Bengal at the Kolkata side.
In 1869, five mills were established with around 950 looms, the
growth was very much fast that by the year 1910, 38 companies
were operating around 30,685 looms, rendering more than a billion
yards of cloth and over 450 million bags.

In the year 1880, jute industry has acquired almost
the whole of Dundee and Calcutta. Then later in
19th century, the manufacturing of jute has started
in other countries also like in France, America, Italy,Austria, Russia, Belgium and Germany. Most of the
Jute barons had started to quit India, leaving the set
up of jute mills after Independence. Most of themwere taken up by Marwaris businessmen.

SWOT analysis of Indian jute
industry
7/29/2019 Jute The Golden Fiber
38/43
Strength:Jute is a labour intensive industry, which engages 4.35
million people[7].
Jute industry has lot of potential of providing
employment especially in East Indian region. Theindustry offers employment opportunity to 7,500
persons per year, besides more opportunity lie ahead in
expansion of existing capacity in new mills that are
coming up in SSI and MSI.
Jute is an eco-friendly and biodegradable product.
With the pressure from green movement, it is going to
sustain through consumer's preference.
7/29/2019 Jute The Golden Fiber
39/43
Weakness:
Lack of Research & Development (R&D),
farsightedness & forward planning on the part of
government and industry.
The machinery used in jute industry is old andobsolete with age of machinery ranging between 40 -
150 years. They have lost their capacity to produce
quality products and in spite of routine maintenance,
fail to yield standard machine production.
Marketing has been another weak point of jute
industry. It has been maintaining a very slow pace in
coming out of traditional way of marketing.
7/29/2019 Jute The Golden Fiber

Continue..
Within the country, wage for workers varies
from Rs 50 - Rs 250 per man-day. Government
must take immediate steps in this concern and
formulate need based wage structure for jutesector.
Indian jute has not been able to build brand
image for jute that goes with the quality.
7/29/2019 Jute The Golden Fiber
41/43
Opportunity:
In many areas Indian Jute industry is ahead of other jute producingand manufacturing countries viz.
(a) It has learned how to upgrade a lower grade fibre in thebatch mix.
(b) It also leads in diversified value added products.
The Government at the centre and at state has pro-jute mindset.They have plans for taking jute industry to new horizon. This isevident from National Jute Policy 2005 which targets to reachexport Rs 5,000 crores in the 11th fine year plan from presentamount of Rs 1,000 crores.
Brazil is one of the major importers of Indian Jute, and is estimatedto have a market of 25,000 tonnes of food grains, and few of Indianjute bag producers have been awarded zero duty which opens newdoors to other industry producers.
Industry should accomplish Total Quality Management so as to
build quality in the products.
7/29/2019 Jute The Golden Fiber
42/43
Threats:One of the major threats faced by Indian juteindustry/producers is from Bangladesh Jute industry, whichis armed with 7% cash subsidy on all items of jute productswithout any string.
Withdrawal of Export Subsidy Assistance (ESA) from 1 April,2007 has been a setback to the export of Indian Juteindustry.
The Department of Food and Public Distribution (DFPD) hasissued orders for packaging paddy and coarse grains in used
gunny bags which is a violation of Jute Packaging MaterialAct, 1987, which is considered as threat by jute industry.
Recent government decision to withdraw 10% import dutyon jute and jute products to nil with effect from January 1,2008, is seen as a threat by the industry.

Conclusion
The Indian jute industry is having lots of opportunityby its side; It is not only one of the oldest industries ofIndia but also among the major employer of thenation. There are a lot of strengths and also muchopportunity to grab them but it could only be done ifit overcomes its weaknesses and threats. Jute, thegolden fibre, has a potential of reaching the height
where it used to be in the past, but it is only possiblethrough constant efforts by government and a properfollow-up by the industry. After all, converting yourthreats into your opportunities is the success mantra
