Jute Cultivation in Assam
Assam is the 3rd-largest producer of Jute in India. Jute (जूट) here is a cash crop crop with a Kharif (Sow: Mar-Apr, Harvest: Jul-Sep) season (Kharif (Sow: Mar-Apr, Harvest: Jul-Sep)). The prices above reflect wholesale rates at Assam's regulated APMC mandis; the actual rate you get depends on grade, moisture and the day's arrivals.
Jute MSP & Procurement in Assam
The Minimum Support Price for Jute is ₹5,335/quintal (Kharif 2025-26). Government agencies procure Jute at MSP in Assam during the marketing season, so you should never sell below ₹5,335. Today's market modal price of ₹13,300 is above MSP - the open market is paying well.
Where to Sell Jute in Assam
Sell at your nearest APMC mandi - major ones include Guwahati Mandi. Compare rates across 2-3 mandis the same day, grade and clean your produce for 15-20% higher bids, and register on eNAM to reach buyers beyond Assam. Use a Kisan Credit Card for storage finance to sell in the lean season.
Government Support for Assam Jute Farmers
