History
editJute historically has been an important industry in Bangladesh. The proposal for a jute diversification center was brought up in the International Forum for diversification of jute uses. In 2002 the Jute Diversification Promotion Centre was established by the Ministry of Textiles and Jute. It is headquartered in the former headquarters of the International Jute Study Group in Dhaka. It has jute entrepreneurial service centres in Chittagong, Dhaka, Jessore, Narsigndi, Rangpur, and Tangail.[6] The centre is part of a government strategy to diversify jute products and promote exports of jute.[7]
