Fibre Crop Uses: Identifying Jute
The question asks to identify a specific fibre crop used for making coarse cloth, bags, sacks, and decorative items. Let's examine the properties and common uses of the provided options:
- Cotton: Primarily known for its soft fibres used in making fine textiles for clothing and household items. It is not typically the primary choice for coarse materials like sacks.
- Hemp: A versatile fibre crop used for ropes, coarse fabrics, and paper. While it can be used for coarse cloth and bags, jute is more specifically associated with the heavy-duty sack production mentioned.
- Jute: Often called the "golden fibre," jute is renowned for its strong, coarse fibres. These characteristics make it ideal for producing burlap (coarse cloth), hessian fabric, gunny bags (sacks), ropes, and various decorative items and handicrafts. This aligns perfectly with all the uses mentioned in the question.
- Hoopvine: This is not typically recognized as a major fibre crop for textile or industrial purposes like the others listed.
Based on the specific applications—coarse cloth, bags, sacks, and decorative items—Jute is the most fitting answer due to its strong, coarse fibre properties and widespread use in these exact products.
