Gone are the days when jute was used only as a raw material to produce gunny sacks for packaging. As a new source for lifestyle products, it is driving a new wave in the fashion and handicrafts industries, owing to its eco-friendliness, in both domestic and international markets. The increasing margins has made entrepreneur out of youngsters such as Krishnendu Datta. A graduate from National Institute of Fashion Technology, Datta now exports jute products to countries such as New Zealand and Australia. "A quality leather bag costs about Rs 800, but a equally fashionable jute bag has just a Rs 250 tag," he said. He expects exports to increase by 200 per cent in the next two years. Since 1999, export of jute diversified products has increased by more than 150 per cent to cross the Rs 250 crore (Rs 2.5 billion) mark last year. The labor-intensive jute companies provide employment to almost two lakh artisans working in 12,000 units spread across the country.*
