However, this company was not engaged in the cultivation of jute and production, it only sold finished jute products in Europe. A little later, in 1793, Margaret Donnaly I founded the first jute factory in the world; she also rented a huge area for jute plantations.

However, the real boom in the history of the development of the jute industry occurred in the middle of the 19th century. In 1885, George Acland bought a large batch of spinning machines, and also planted jute on the east coast of India near Calcutta. The growth rates and production volumes were so high that jute products gradually began to conquer the European market, seriously competing with cotton. By 1910, there were already more than 30 jute processing plants in France, England, Italy, America, Belgium and other countries.

In the era of the great Akbar empire, the poor rural population of India wore clothes made of jute. Since ancient times, jute has also been used to make ropes and ropes for construction purposes, and the Chinese have also made paper from jute.
