Jute products from Assam are eco friendly handicrafts used for bags, mats, and decorative items with growing demand in sustainable markets.

Jute based products such as bags, mats, and home décor items are widely produced in Assam using locally available raw materials. These products are biodegradable and align with increasing demand for sustainable alternatives to plastic. The sector supports rural artisans and women self-help groups. Key opportunities include eco-friendly packaging products, export-oriented jute bags, and branding for lifestyle markets. From a fiscal perspective, jute products attract applicable GST, while exports are zero rated with RoDTEP benefits, and machinery imports may attract customs duty with available incentives.
