Which of the following states accounts for about three-fourths of India's total jute production?
West Bengal
Jute is a fibre crop that needs high temperature, heavy rainfall and the fertile alluvial soil of river deltas, conditions well met in the Ganga-Brahmaputra delta.
West Bengal, lying in this delta, has both the ideal climate and the concentration of jute mills along the Hooghly river; it produces roughly three-fourths of India's total jute output, making it the leading jute-producing state.
Bihar, Assam and Odisha also grow jute but contribute far smaller shares than West Bengal.
Hence, the state accounting for about three-fourths of India's jute production is West Bengal.
