Question
Why has the jute textile industry developed in West Bengal?

Answer

The jute industry has developed in West Bengal because
  • The alluvial deltic soil of the Hooghly is best for the growth of jute.
  • The area also provides cheap labour, humid climate and facilities like banking and insurance.
  • International trade can be carried out from the sea port of Haldia.
  • The shortfall in jute can be met by importing it from Bangladesh.
