Jute Quality Grading
Full Form of JQG
What is JQG?
Jute Quality Grading (JQG) is a systematic process used to assess and classify jute fibres based on physical and visual parameters such as colour, lustre, strength, cleanliness, and fibre length. In India, JQG is critical for the jute industry, which is primarily concentrated in West Bengal and parts of Assam and Bihar. The grading system ensures that raw jute meets specific standards required by domestic mills and international buyers. It is used by farmers, traders, cooperatives, and export houses to determine market value and facilitate trade. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) provides guidelines for JQG, but practical grading often relies on traditional expertise. For students of agriculture, textile engineering, and commerce, understanding JQG is relevant for supply chain management and export quality control. The process directly impacts income of millions of smallholder jute farmers and supports India's position as a leading jute producer and exporter.
