This book provides a systematic overview of the recent developments in the production and processing of jute and allied fibres, giving insight into ways to improve their productivity in order to keep pace with the growing needs of an increasing population. The book will be particularly beneficial to agronomists, soil scientists, pathologists, biotechnologists, seed production specialists, market managers, industrialists, development agencies, graduate and postgraduate students, and other stakeholders associated with jute and allied fibre crop improvement, or market development in the public and private sectors. The book may also help to generate ideas surrounding the formulation of public-private collaborative research for future innovations regarding this crop.
