Abstract
A BROCHURE containing much valuable statistical material on the jute trade and industry, including estimates which are not available elsewhere, has been issued by the Indian Central Jute Committee, Calcutta, under the title “World Consumption of Jute” 1938—39 and 1939—40 (Economic Research Bulletin No. 1, R.I, Is. 6d.). The estimates of the total consumption of jute in the world given in this bulletin for the period 1933—34 to 1939—40 indicate that consumption reached its peak in 1936—37 with an aggregate consumption of about 123 lakhs of bales, but world consumption in 1938—39 fell to 107 lakhs of bales, and only rose again, to 109 lakhs of bales in 1939—40, in spite of the hectic buying at the beginning of the War. Independent estimates of the yield of the jute crop are also included for the 1938—39 and 1939—40 seasons.
