India Issues Jute Stock Control Order to boost raw jute supply
India’s Ministry of Textiles has issued a jute stock control order to improve raw jute availability. Balers, traders, and mills must reduce excess stocks to set limits—1,500 quintals for balers, 300 quintals for traders, and two months’ use for mills. Delayed monsoon has slowed sowing, raising prices to ₹6,800–7,200 per quintal, which is above the MSP of ₹5,650 per quintal.
