Farmers plough and manure in their land well. Then they sow seeds in March or April. Jute plants grow within a week. Plants become mature in four or five months.
Jute plants are cut down in July and august. Then they are kept under water to rot. After a few days, fiber is taken from their sticks. Next they are washed in clean water and dried up in the sun. Thus jute becomes ready to sale.
Jute is very useful to us. Different types of mats, ropes, painters, brush, false hair and great variety of our domestic use are made from jute. The sticks are used as fuel. We use the tender leaves of jute plant as vegetables.
Jute plays an important role in our economy. It earns a lot of foreign exchange. So it is called the golden fiber of Bangladesh.
