Question

Write a note on jute plantation in Tamil nadu.

Answer 1

Answer:

Jute is a soft, shiny, and relatively long fibre that has the ability to be spun into strong, coarse threads. Plants belonging to the genus ‘Corchorus’ are the primary source of Jute.

• The jute fibre comes from the jute plant’s stem and ribbon.
• By retting, the fibres are first removed. Bundling jute stems together and immersing them in slow running water consists of the retting process.
• Two forms of retting are available: stem and ribbon.
• Stripping commences after the retting process.
• The non-fibrous matter is scraped off in the stripping process, then the workers reach in and catch the fibres from inside the jute stem.

Tamil Nadu is noted for being the world’s largest cotton yarn producer. It accounts for 41% of India’s total output. It is also the country’s largest producer of coconuts and bananas.
