Open in App
Solution

Jute fibre extraction:

  1. Retting: Jute fibre is obtained from the stalks of the jute plant. After harvesting, the stalks of jute plants are bundled together and soaked in water for about 20 days.
  2. The fibres are then separated from the stem in long strands and washed in clear, running water.
  3. The fibres are then spread out or hung up to dry for between 2-3 days.
  4. The dried fibres are then collected and bundled to be sent to the mills to be processed into fabric, ropes, gunny sacks etc.
