Introduction
As is known, jute was the single most important export item of Bangladesh till the end of the
1980s. With the ascendancy of export-oriented readymade garments (RMG), and later on of
shrimp, jute lost its pre-eminent position. It presently occupies the third position in the export
basket of Bangladesh.
Bangladesh is the leading exporter of raw jute globally ,whilst India is the largest producer as
well as consumer of jute products in the world.
EXPORT PERFORMANCE
Bangladesh continued to remain the leading exporter globally with the country
accounting for over 90 per cent of the worlds raw jute and allied fiber export. It is
important to mention here that, raw jute and jute goods export increased
significantly and almost doubled in FY2009-10 compared to FY2008-09 (by about
98.5 per cent), to reach USD 736.4 million.
BJMC-2014
The idea of using jute products are a preferred choice of global consumers
due to its environment-friendly nature.
We have to re-brand the jute related product for our foreign target customers
to get the proper revenue generation.
which is now creating a positive trend for jute and jute products
32 million
of products includes shopping bags, rugs, wall coverings, apparels, etc. With the right touch of
colors combined with the artisan's skills, jute fabric could be transformed into almost elegant
but ecofriendly product. Besides, Our existing jute mills can be diversified to produce geotextiles, the demand for which is bound to grow in future.
Price competitiveness
Bangladesh is one of the few countries that grows and produces jute and jute products.
Bangladesh became second largest producer of jute after India, and one of the top supplier of
the bio-degradable natural fibre. Thus, Bangladesh's entrance into diversified foreign markets
will not be a great challenge.
Tariff Barriers
while Kenya and Iran impose the very high tariffs of 73.4 per cent and 50 per cent respectively.
For raw jute Bangladesh faces highest tariff rate in Singapore,
Colombia and Vietnam with 10 per cent, and Brazil with 8 per cent. Twine and ropes have
highest duty in the range of 15 per cent in Venezuela, 10 per cent in Philippines and Barbados.
For fabric, highest duties are levied by Algeria (30 per cent), Tanzania and Kenya (25 per cent),
Brazil and Iran (20 per cent).
Bangladesh has to face high tariff for exporting sacks and bags of jute in Iran (65 per cent),
Kenya (59 per cent) and Vietnam (40 per cent). Brazil imposed very high anti-dumping duty
(ADD) on sacks and bags of jute. These have limited Bangladesh's export opportunities in those
countries.
Non-tariff Barriers
According to a CPD (Centre for Policy Dialogue) report published in 2011
called Global Market Opportunity in Export of Jute, Bangladesh faces a
number of Non Tariff Barriers (NTB) hampering its export. Some of them are:
a. NTBs similar to sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) measures
b. NTBs related to consular information
c. NTBs related to technical barriers to trade (TBT) measures
d. Quantitative restrictions including ban
e. Labeling requirement
f. Rules of Origin g. Visa requirement
