Explain how is jute cultivated.

Answer 1

• Jute crop takes around 8 to 10 months to we ready.
• First the crop is grown and when the plants grow fully, its stems are harvested.
• The harvested stems are teid together and soaked in water till they turn soft.
• Then the fibres of the stems are stripped from the stalks in to long strands.
• Later, these strands are washed in clean running water.
• After being cleaned, the strands are hung up on strings or spread on straw roofs until they dry completely.
• The dried product is ready jute.
