Jute is a natural fiber that is obtained from the bark of the jute plant. The jute plant grows extensively in India. Initially, the jute fiber was always used as a thick rope to bind and hold things together.
They were then woven loosely and made into simple gunny bags. They proved to be so useful that all kinds of vegetables were packed in these sturdy and durable jute sacks. Because it was reusable, easy to use and transport, it became very popular.
Gradually jute was woven and spun into carpets. More and more people are becoming aware of the benefits of using organic products. People consciously look for and buy eco-friendly products to protect the environment.
