Jute Corporation starts MSP operations for raw jute at new rate

02 Jul 2024 Evaluate

The Jute Corporation of India (JCI) has commenced Minimum Support Price (MSP) operations for raw jute from July 01, 2024. The government has raised the MSP for raw jute by Rs 285 to Rs 5,335 per quintal for the 2024-25 season. 

In the current season (2023-24), the government has procured a record amount of over 7.24 lakh bales of raw jute, costing over Rs 500 crore, and benefiting around 1.70 lakh farmers. This is a significant increase compared to the 2.3 lakh bales procured in 2022-23.

Despite projections of reduced production by the Expert Committee on Jute (ECJ), the price of the golden fibre has plummeted below Rs 5,000 per quintal. In contrast, the MSP for the 2024-25 season is Rs 5,335 per quintal, due to very low demands for the raw material by jute mills. This significant drop in prices is primarily attributed to reduced orders for GBT (Gunny Burlap Textile) bags by the Food Corporation of India (FCI) and State Procuring Agencies (SPAs). The Mills are sitting on huge old stock.

110 direct JCI procurement centres are operational, and an additional 25 outsourced centres are active. The JCI’s MSP procurement is directly from farmers, protecting them from distress sales.
