What is the role of JCI in Indian Agricultural Economy?
The Jute Corporation of India Limited (JCI) came into existence in 1971 to undertake, inter-alia, MSP operation of raw jute to protect the jute growers from the distress sale to the middlemen so that such jute growers can get a minimum remunerative price for their produce. JCI is the only agency operating in raw jute to provide necessary marketing facilities to jute growers in the rural areas.
