Dakshin Dinajpur, West Bengal

Jute Craft and Diversified Jute Products

Jute is the backbone raw material of Dakshin Dinajpur, which holds a significant share of West Bengal's cultivated jute area and runs active jute craft units such as Uttara Jute Craft and Banita Jute Craft. The District Industries Centre promotes jute fabric, jute handicrafts, jute geotextiles and even activated charcoal made from jute sticks, positioning the district as a source of diversified jute goods. Local units produce mats, bags, coir-like furnishings and utilitarian jute articles sold to traders beyond the district. Buyers get sturdy, eco-friendly jute goods made in an authentic jute-growing belt of North Bengal.

Typical price: ₹50-1500

Buying tip: Jute craft units around Balurghat and its market supply bags, mats and jute articles; ask for plain and patterned weaves and heavier gauge for load-bearing bags. Bulk buyers can approach the units listed with the District Industries Centre directly.
