Jute is grown mainly in West Bengal, Bihar, Assam, Odisha, Meghalaya. It is a cash crop crop with a Kharif (Sow: Mar-Apr, Harvest: Jul-Sep) season - Kharif (Sow: Mar-Apr, Harvest: Jul-Sep).

Jute is India's premier natural fibre crop and India is the world's largest jute producer (over 60% of global output). West Bengal contributes 80% of India's jute, and with rising global demand for biodegradable packaging as a substitute for plastic, jute prices have strengthened significantly after years of decline.

Jute MSP Kharif 2025-26 - ₹5,335/Quintal

The Minimum Support Price (MSP) for Jute is ₹5,335 per quintal for Kharif 2025-26, announced by the Government of India on the recommendation of the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP). MSP is the floor price - government procurement agencies are obligated to buy at this rate, so you should never sell your jute below ₹5,335/quintal. Today's market price of ₹13,300 is above MSP, so the open market is paying well - sell where you get the best rate. See the full Jute MSP tracker with the year-on-year change and free alerts.

Why Jute Prices Change

  • Seasonal arrivals: Prices fall when fresh harvest floods the mandi (peak arrival) and recover in the off-season. Knowing the jute harvest window helps you time sales.
  • Weather: Drought, floods, frost or unseasonal rain damage the crop and cut supply, pushing prices up; a bumper harvest pushes them down.
  • Government policy: MSP sets a price floor; export bans/permissions, buffer-stock release and import duty all move prices.
  • Demand: Festivals, processing-industry demand and export orders raise prices.
  • Grade & quality: Clean, dry, well-graded produce always fetches a premium over mixed lots.

How to Get the Best Price for Your Jute

💡 Top tip: Register on eNAM (National Agriculture Market) to sell your jute directly to buyers across India - farmers typically get 10-15% better prices than the local mandi.
  1. Compare mandis: Check the state-wise rates above and visit 2-3 nearby mandis before selling - same-day rates can differ ₹100-500/quintal.
  2. Grade and clean your jute - graded produce fetches 15-20% higher bids.
  3. Time the market: Avoid selling at peak-arrival when prices bottom out. Use a warehouse and a Kisan Credit Card loan to store and sell in the lean season.
  4. Use government procurement at MSP (₹5,335) if the market price falls below it.
