Made from 100% jute Diameter diameter 40 cm The fertile alluvial soil in India ensures that the undemanding jute plant does not have to be fertilized. This is an advantage for the environment and an economic advantage for farmers compared to intensive cotton cultivation. The jute plant is often still grown in small-scale crops in alternation with other crops, which means that, unlike large monocultures, little to no pesticides are required for cultivation. Farmers can also reuse the seeds of the plant in the classic way to grow the next generation. Outside the growing season for jute, farmers use the fields for other plants. This protects the soil and makes farmers more independent as they don't just grow one plant variety. All together, these aspects make jute fiber an unbeaten ecologically sustainable product that supports the existence of many small farmers in the rural poor regions of East India
