In the case of  Jute however India is the largest producer contributing about 52.3% of world jute production followed closely by Bangladesh which produces 42.5% of the world jute production.  China and Vietnam  are  marginal players in Jute production.

The focus of both Bangladesh and Vietnam is on  Export of  Ready Made garments (RMG) . **A comparative table giving the share of ready  made garments in  across India, China, Bangladesh and Vietnam is given at Annexure II.** It will be noted  that export of RMG accounted for 94.27%  of Bangladesh’s textile exports  & 80.63% of Vietnams textile exports in 2014 as per UN COMTRADE . As against this, the share of RMG in Chinas textile exports was 60.31% and  India’s textile exports was  42.85%.  Further,  it may be mentioned that RMG exports  grew at much  faster rate  in both Vietnam  and Bangladesh as compared to India in the year 2014 **.( Annexure III refers)**
