Government has actually mandated usage of jute in packaging of food grainsGovernment has actually provided its clearance to appointment norms for jute product packaging materials for jute year 2021-22, under which 100 percent food grains and 20 per cent of sugar will be packed in jute bags according to the provisions of under Jute Packaging Product Act, 1987.

The decision, which was cleared by the Union Cabinet on Wednesday, is likely to benefit 3,70,000 workers employed in jute mills and ancillary units.The appointment norms are anticipated to improve domestic production of raw jute and jute product packaging material in India, thereby, making India self-reliant in consonance with the federal government's Aatmanirbhar Bharat campaign.Jute industry in India is spread out across eastern states like West Bengal, Bihar, Odisha and Assam among others.In West Bengal it is a major industry as 75 per cent of the overall production of the jute market is jute sacking bags, of which 90 percent is supplied to the Food Corporation of India (FCI) and state procurement agencies.Government purchases jute sacking bags worth roughly Rs 8,000 crore every year, for packaging of foodgrains, hence making sure guaranteed market for the produce of jute farmers and employees.
