Jute Yarn and Twine: Export demand for both low and high quality grade jute yarns and twines from markets such as Turkey and Iran returned to a regular level during the month under review. Same applies for export demand for low and high quality grade jute yarns and twines from other international markets such as India, China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Uzbekistan and countries of the Middle East. However, buyers from Europe and the United States of America were in market, but less orders were placed especially during the first half of the month under review due to festive season. Since mid of January, US and European demand picked up, despite sharp increases of sea freight rates, caused by the continuous attacks on vessels in the Red Sea.
