Jute Mills Association calls for complete ban on export of jute seeds to Bangladesh

22 Dec 2025 Evaluate

The Indian Jute Mills Association (IJMA) has sought urgent intervention from the government to complete ban on export of jute seeds, particularly high-yielding variety (HYV) ones, to Bangladesh and regulate imports of goods made from the golden fibre. This follows Bangladesh's unilateral decision to restrict exports of raw jute to India from September 8, 2025, which have led to an acute shortage of raw material in India, resulting in a sharp rise in prices in the domestic market.  

The association warned that the combined impact of raw material shortage and rising prices are causing serious financial stress to Indian jute mills, threatening the stability of the jute value chain and the livelihoods of lakhs of workers employed in the sector. To address the crisis, it said urgent steps are necessary to safeguard farmers' interests and ensure the long-term sustainability of the domestic jute industry until Bangladesh restores normal raw material exports.

Expressing concerns over an uneven bilateral trade situation, the millers' association said that while Bangladesh has blocked raw jute supplies to Indian mills, the neighbouring country continues to rely almost entirely on India for HYV jute seeds. These seeds are used to manufacture finished jute products in Bangladesh, which are then shipped back to India at lower prices, hurting domestic manufacturers. It stated that continued exports of HYV jute seeds from India have also reduced its availability for Indian farmers and could adversely impact future domestic production. It stressed that jute seeds should be treated as a strategic agricultural input to protect national interests.
