About the product

Jute sacks and bags are produced by Nepal's jute mills, concentrated in the eastern Terai (Biratnagar). Jute is a long-standing industrial export using domestic and imported raw fibre.

Nepal’s position

India is overwhelmingly the main buyer. Demand tracks Indian packaging needs and the duty treatment under the India-Nepal trade regime.
