Detailed Solution

Due to its high cost, jute is losing its market to synthetic fibres like nylon, resulting in its low production.
Jute is one of the vital fibre plants grown in India and is derived from plants grown in soil. It grows on well-drained soils, renewed every year. It requires high temperatures that are perfect and recommended for their growth. Meghalaya, West Bengal, Assam, Bihar, and Odisha are the primary jute-producing states. Jute is mainly used to make bags, carpets, ropes, mats, and various artefacts, while Nylon is mostly used since it is cheap and more durable. Jute can be grown only in certain regions, and the areas wherein jute might be grown lack technical advancement, leading to ineffective production.
