Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Jute and cotton are the two fibre crops grown in India. Cotton is believed to have its origin in India. It is one of the major raw materials, and the cotton textile industry is prominent in India. It grows well in moisture-retaining black cotton soil found in the plateau region. A high temperature, light rainfall, and bright sunshine are ideal for its growth. Some cotton-producing states are Maharashtra, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, and Madhya Pradesh. Jute is a very strong fibre and requires high temperature for its growth. The well-drained, fertile soil of West Bengal, Meghalaya, Assam, Bihar, and Odisha have jute cultivation.
