Bangladesh will form a Jute Council to develop the jute sector and the associated industries, textiles and jute minister Jahangir Kabir Nanak recently told the annual general meeting of the Bangladesh Jute Mills Association (BJMA).

Nanak said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has directed his ministry to develop the jute industries as she wants the sector to earn more foreign currency.

"I have directed the deputy commissioners (DC) to stop the use of polythene bags of 50 kg. We have initiated to make big jute bags and we want to export those to foreign markets," Nanak was quoted as saying by a domestic news agency.
