What Is Jute?

Jute is a long, soft, and shiny natural plant fiber extracted from the stalks of the Corchorus plant, primarily Corchorus capsularis and Corchorus olitorius. It belongs to the category of bast fibers and is mainly composed of cellulose and lignin. The fibers are obtained through a process called retting, where the harvested stalks are soaked to separate the usable fibers from the woody core.

Jute’s natural composition gives it a distinctive golden color, high tensile strength, and coarse texture, making it widely used for producing bags, ropes, textiles, and packaging materials. Its natural biodegradability and minimal chemical processing also make it a sustainable alternative to synthetic fibers.
