It is necessary to use jute sacks
Let us tell you that since the demand for plastic bags has increased, then the use of jute had decreased. Due to this, the livelihood of the farmers cultivating jute was badly affected. To solve this problem of the farmers, the central government decided to settle it. After this it was decided that only jute sacks would be used for the packing of grains.
Not only this, the use of anything else in the packing will be completely banned. Along with this, 20 percent jute sacks will be used for packing sugar.
