Jute farmer of Siteshnagar village of Prithvinagar panchayat in Pakur district said, Jute cultivation has increased in this area in four-five years and this is due to the availability of water. He said that three quintals of crop can be produced in one bigha field and the rate for this is four to five thousand rupees per quintal.

West Bengal has been famous for its jute cultivation. Jute is also cultivated in parts of Pakur district of Jharkhand adjoining West Bengal.

Jute farmer Abdul Ghaffar, says that there is a lot of hard work in this farming.

A farmer named Imam told that it takes a lot of effort to prepare the jute crop. After harvesting the crop, it has to be soaked in water for about two weeks. After that the fibers are removed from it.
