Jute is a long, soft, shiny vegetable fibre that can be spun into
coarse, strong threads. Jute is one of the most affordable
natural fibres and is second only to cotton in amount
produced and variety of uses. Jute fibres are composed
primarily of the plant materials cellulose (major component of
plant fibre) and lignin (major components of wood fibre). It is
thus a ligno-cellulosic fibre that is partially a textile fibre and
partially wood. It falls into the bast fibre category (fibre
collected from bast or skin of the plant) along with kenaf,
industrial hemp, flax (linen), ramie, etc. The industrial term
for jute fibre is raw jute. The fibres are off-white to brown,
