Raw jute quality and jute
product's quality testing is essential before export. The jute
products quality includes physical test, chemical and analytic test,
biological ingredient test, jute composites test, ecological test. It
also requires well equipped laboratories and testing equipments. In
India particularly in West Bengal many jute testing services are
available. The most reliable and prominent test services are from
Indian Jute Industries Research Association (IJIRA). IJIRA jute test
services equipped with modern laboratory equipments and well trained experts
team.

India is the largest producer of jute goods in the world, while
Bangladesh is the largest cultivator of raw jute. The
cultivation of Jute in India is mainly confined to the eastern
region states - West Bengal, Bihar, Assam, Tripura, Meghalaya,
