With the closure of the world's largest jute industry, “The Adamjee Jute mills” the jute sector of the country has been passing through a crisis. Besides the Adamjee Jute industries, some other jute industries located at Jessore and Khulna areas have faced closure. In the last two years, two-three public sector jute industries have been closed. Jute was once our number one foreign currency earner. Those good days are over now with the mismanagement and malpractice in the jute sector. As a result, once the most flourishing jute industries are now on the verge of elimination. The issue deserves a closer look since the industry can still contribute to our economy. What is needed is proper planning.
