The government has reduced Jute Stock Limits for Raw Jute Traders and Balers to zero. The stock limits have been revised to ensure fair distribution and prevent hoarding or speculative practices.
Under the revised rates, the stock limits for raw jute balers with baling press on premises and registered with Jute Commissioner’s Office and other stockists will now be Nil. The Ministry of Textiles informed that raw jute traders and balers will sell entirety of their stock to jute mills.
The Ministry further informed that all stocking entities are required to declare and update jute stock positions fortnightly on the Jute SMART portal.
It added that entities holding stocks exceeding the prescribed limits must sell holdings by 5th of next month and physically deliver the stocks to consignees by 15th of next month.
The Textiles Ministry also underlined that these measures are intended to stabilise jute supply and support the interests of farmers, manufacturers, and consumers nationwide.
