Detailed Solution

According to the jute growers' lament, in-house traders profited from jute cultivation.
India started exporting goods and importing manufactured goods in the nineteenth century. The depression immediately impacted Indian trade. Thus the jute producers claimed that the in-house traders would gain from the jute cultivation's financial success. However, the jute farmers struggled tirelessly in the field. Jute growers suffered hardship as they put in a lot of time in the area but couldn't pay their bills. Moreover, jute growers made a significant financial and labour investment in jute production. After the crop was established, the in-house traders gave the jute farmers a pitiful sum of money. As a result, jute cultivation was profitable for the in-house traders.
