The reasons for this concentration of jute mills in West Bengal are as under:
- West Bengal is the store house of jute. It produces the highest number of bales of jute fibre.
- This industry requires a lot of water which is easily available from the Hugli River.
- Iron and coal which are required for the installation and running of jute factories are also available from the nearby mines of Raniganj.
- Cheap Labour is easily available because of incoming labour from the adjoining provinces of Bihar and Orissa.
- If some more raw material of jute is required it can easily be imported from Bangladesh.
- Last but not the least, Calcutta is a good harbour which can easily export the jute manufactures to other countries of the world through its great network of ships.
