The Jute Corporation of India

🌾 Understanding Jute & Farmer Empowerment with Mrittika Harvest 🌾

At Mrittika Harvest, we believe that awareness is the first step to empowerment. Let’s explore how the Jute Corporation of India (JCI) plays a vital role in supporting our jute farmers:

✅ What is JCI?

The Jute Corporation of India Ltd. (JCI) is a Government of India enterprise under the Ministry of Textiles, established in 1971.

It ensures fair trade and sustains the jute economy by protecting farmers from market fluctuations.



✅ How JCI Helps Farmers

Direct procurement of raw jute from farmers

Ensuring the Minimum Support Price (MSP)

Preventing exploitation by middlemen

Strengthening farmer income and market stability



✅ JCI’s MSP Mechanism for Jute

The Minimum Support Price for jute is declared annually by the government.

If market prices fall, JCI steps in to purchase jute at MSP — ensuring that farmers never sell at a loss.



✅ JCI Procurement Centres in India

JCI has 110+ procurement centres, especially active in:

📍 West Bengal

📍 Assam

📍 Bihar

📍 Odisha

📍 Andhra Pradesh

These centers make it easier for farmers to access fair prices directly.



✅ Mrittika Harvest’s Role in Farmer Awareness

At Mrittika Harvest, we:

🌱 Educate farmers on MSP rights

🌱 Connect them to JCI centres

🌱 Provide training on sustainable practices & quality grading

🌱 Promote farmer empowerment through workshops, social media, and field guidance



📢 Let’s spread this awareness — for our farmers, for sustainability, for the jute economy.
