The study makes an attempt to analyze the constraints and future prospects of export-oriented jute in Bangladesh. Economic profitability of jute was measured including an assessment of comparative advantage using policy analysis matrix. Johansen cointegration approach was used to estimate a stationary relationship between world and Bangladeshi raw jute prices as well as among the regional market prices in Bangladesh. Six performance indicators were used to measure marketing efficiency of raw jute. For forecasting purpose, nine deterministic time series models were considered. Several studies have been conducted on marketing system of jute, which were mostly inadequate in terms of area of investigation and reflected very past situation more than a decade ago. The contribution of the present study to the literature is that it will represent the first empirical test of market integration between Bangladeshi and world jute market in a dynamic framework using a recent data set. This book should be useful to the researchers and policy makers in agribusiness and marketing fields, or anyone else for integrated policy formulation.
The jute commodity system as prevalent in the Indian subcontinent is a conglomeration of paradoxes. Jute was once called the golden fibre on account of its contribution to means of livelihood to millions of farmers, traders, manufacturers in the unorganized sector, mill workers in the organized sector as well scores of people employed in the service sector relating to trading, manufacturing and exports of jute and jute goods. Jute industry along with textile manufacturing provided the foundation of modern manufacturing industry in India. Simultaneously, this industry was also the fountain head of the growth of private entrepreneurship and capital in India. Most of the traditional Industrial Houses in India grew out of trading and manufacturing of jute and jute goods, coal and tea. On the other hand most of the farmers involved in cultivation of natural fibres like jute are small and marginal farmers. Without alternative avenues of gainful employment elsewhere, these millions in South Asia would be deprived of a part of their livelihood. The entire commodity chain of natural fibres is characterized by low productivity, low value addition, high volumes and low returns. The advent and discovery of mineral oil helped exploit cheap HDPE and PP polyethylene sacks, which started replacing the natural fibre based packaging materials. As a result, the jute industry got wiped out from Europe, America and the Far East. Today, it is survived in the Indian subcontinent and to a lesser extent in Brazil. The unique feature of the volume is that it focuses on the first hand experience of the policy-makers and other stakeholders in the jute commodity system, who are confronted with a dilemma of reviving a declining economic subsector. At this juncture, when there is need for a Commodity Development Strategy suitable to the ethos of a commodity like the jute fibre, the present, volumes attempts to devise such a strategy thorough analysis of the system based on authentic and up-to-date information. The Book furnishes an erudite analysis and stock-taking of the jute commodity system. This analysis points out to the fact that there is a need for a holistic, systemic approach to the problems being faced by this sector focusing on the economic exploitation of the whole jute plant; holistic research for addressing productivity and processing efficiency in the entire commodity chain of jute; and creating a network of organisations for advocacy for jute and allied fibres, which would focus on repositioning the golden fibre as sustainable and eco-friendly commodity with the help of green and sustainable development advocacy groups. The Commodity Development Strategy highlights the need for greater effort for significant degree of product diversification which would entail significant consumption of the fibre or fabric in volume terms. The volume ends with an optimistic note with ideas of inclusive development under the Millennium Development Goals and Carbon Credits Sustainable Development under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change the welcome paradigm shifts in the approach to the jute sector. The effort by Sh Roul is a timely one on the eve of the observance of 2009 as International Year for Natural Fibres by the United Nations. The book is quite comprehensive with its focus on a wide range of issues pertaining to the jute agri-commodity system addressed against a historical background and from macro-economic analytical perspective. The volume offers stimulating reading for those interested in the dynamics of agricultural commodity systems like jute and allied fibres. The book is expected to help sensitise national governments, international organizations and nongovernmental organizations towards the eco-sustainability of jute as a natural fibre. The book can serve as an excellent reference book for post-graduate students in economics, jute and textiles management, development studies, regional development and agriculture and agro-marketing.
The costs of the present system of price stabilization of raw jute by Bangladesh's public sector do not yield the expected benefits. Price stabilization could be better handled by the private sector. In any case, the loss of welfare to jute growers from price fluctuations is small.
Prospects for the world jute industry to the mid 1990's are analyzed to identify trends likely to follow the confusion in the jute market originating from the 1984/85 fibre supply crisis. Jute fibre is used primarily as a textile raw material for making packaging products, carpets, industrial fabrics and twine. Structural changes occurring in the world demand for jute are identified. Prospects for the expansion of jute consumption for packaging uses in developing countries are fairly bright since the scope for early changes to bulk-handling and synthetic substitution are limited. The rapid loss of markets for jute sacks and bags to bulk-handling in the industrial and grain exporting countries during the 1970's has about run its course. The resulting structural shifts in the regional distribution of consumption and changes in the product composition of final demand suggest that the growth in world demand for jute to the mid 1990's should be higher than was attained daring the 1970's and early 80's. It is further argued that due to the high prices of 1984/85 output will increase in the 1985/86 and 1986/87 harvests causing prices to fall and leading to a period of low prices and low output in the late 1980's.
Business administration is management of a business. It includes all aspects of overseeing and supervising business operations and related fields which include accounting, finance and marketing, banking, etc.
Surveys were used to quantify the substantial structural changes that have occurred in the major world jute markets since the late 1960s and to identify constraints to further growth in jute consumption during the remainder of the 1980s. The promising prospects for increased use of jute sacks and wrapping fabrics for packaging agricultural inputs and produce in many developing countries contrast sharply with poor growth prospects for jute consumption in other agricultural producing countries where bulk-handling of commodities and the increased use of synthetic packaging materials have seriously eroded the demand for jute products. In some markets jute products face substantial tariff and non-tariff barriers designed to reduce their competitiveness with locally produced fiber or packaging materials. Therefore, future demand prospects for jute products depend on both a dependable supply of competitively priced jute goods and improved market access where trade barriers now effectively exclude imported jute products. Thus, improved efficiency of jute agriculture and manufacturing combined with trade policy improvements are important to jute's future demand prospects.
