Textiles and Jute Minister Golam Dastagir Gazi on Tuesday said the country’s jute sector saw a revival with the commencement of export of products produced by BJMC's leased-based mills.

“The mills, now run under the private management, have created new employment opportunities,” he said while inspecting the production activities of KFD Jute Mills in Chattogram.
