Jute Corporation of India Limited (JCI)

Jute Corporation of India Limited (JCI) is a Miniratna schedule 'C' CPSE in Trading and Marketing sector under the administrative control of Ministry of Textiles. The company assists jute cultivators in states where the crop is grown. The company also provides minimum price support to promote cultivation. Traditionally the jute trade in India has been controlled by middlemen, with a large difference between what the mills pay and what the farmers receive. The jute industry suffers from wide fluctuations in price and supply due to rapid changes in the area cultivated and to the effects of the weather. High prices one year may lead to over-planting and a glut the next year.
