 "Textiles ministry plans 5% dilution in food grains packing")
The jute industry is in for fresh trouble with the Union textiles ministry seriously considering a proposal to de-reserve the mandatory packing order of food grains in sacking bags by five per cent in 2017-18 jute year. The jute year is calculated from July 1 this year to June 30, 2018
Under the prevailing packaging norms, food grains of up to 90 per cent need to be compulsorily packed in jute bags. The ministry’s Standing Advisory Committee (SAC) had recommended a dilution of five per cent to allow indenting agencies to opt for high density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene
