Jute Diversified Products are a powerful opportunity for entrepreneurs who want to build sustainable, design-led, and scalable businesses. West Bengal has everything in place – materials, manpower, heritage and the market is ready. West Bengal, India’s jute hub, provides a ready and skilled workforce in districts like Howrah, Murshidabad, and Hooghly – reducing setup costs and ensuring quality output. The product range is highly diverse, spanning fashion accessories, home décor, eco-gifting, and even industrial items like geo-textiles and insulation wraps. Entrepreneurs can target both retail (B2C) and bulk-buying (B2B) markets.
