About jute and other textile bast fibres (except flax, true hemp and ramie), processed but not spun; tow and waste of these fibres

cpc code 2617 covers the processing of jute and other textile bast fibres, excluding flax, true hemp, and ramie. These fibres are an important raw material for the textile industry, providing natural, biodegradable alternatives to synthetic materials. The production and trade of these fibres play a significant role in the economies of several developing countries, particularly in South Asia and Africa.

Production process

The production of jute and other bast fibres involves several key steps. First, the raw fibres are harvested from the plants. They then undergo a retting process, where the fibres are soaked in water to separate the usable bast from the woody core. Next, the fibres are dried, cleaned, and processed to remove impurities. Finally, the processed fibres are graded, baled, and prepared for sale or further manufacturing.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of jute and other bast fibres include the raw plant material, water for retting, and machinery for processing and cleaning the fibres. Additionally, labour, energy, and transportation are important inputs in this industry. The availability and quality of these resources can significantly impact the productivity and competitiveness of bast fibre producers.

Production outputs

The primary output of cpc code 2617 is processed bast fibres, which are then used as inputs for the production of 2651 Yarn of jute or of other textile bast fibres, 2652 Woven fabrics of jute or of other textile bast fibres, and other textile products. The waste and tow generated during the production process can also be used as inputs for the manufacture of 2679 Cordage, rope, twine and netting, or as a source of cellulose for various industrial applications.
