Book excerpt: 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.
