Jute bags are made from the fibers of the jute plant (Corchorus genus), which is a long, soft, shiny vegetable fiber that can be spun into coarse, strong threads. Jute is primarily grown in the Indian subcontinent and Bangladesh, and it is known for its versatility, affordability, and eco-friendliness. Jute bags are popular as reusable and biodegradable alternatives to plastic bags due to their durability and sustainability.
