Abstract
The use of agricultural waste for any type of uses is limited in developing countries. For this study we have selected Jute i.e. Golden Fiber. The traditional uses of this have been sustained in packing, carpet backing, biomass energy after few operations, handmade paper etc. The aims of this study were therefore (i) To summarize the production data in India State wise and year wise. (ii) Special and specific properties of whole jute. (iii) Uses of jute as per its part: Jute sticks, Jute Caddies, Jute Leaves, Jute Root Cuttings in different areas. And after summarize all the uses; it is clear that these parts are not used efficiently. There is some gap between farmers and industrial uses. If these parts can be utilized effectively in the development of value added products, it will certainly strengthen the economy of poor farmers and country also.
