Trinamul Congress MP Ritabrata Banerjee has alerted the Union textiles minister to a deepening crisis in West Bengal's jute sector, citing prolonged policy failures. The crisis impacts jute farmers, mill workers facing job losses and wage cuts due to high raw material prices and irregular demand, and the government's foodgrain procurement packaging. Banerjee urged the ministry to establish a raw jute stabilization buffer, ensure predictable demand planning, and finalize prices promptly to support the industry.
