The Bangladesh Jute Mills Association (BJMA) is an organized body of the owners of the private jute mills operating in the country. The organization was created for sharing the problems and prospects in running the jute mills under private sector smoothly. There are 35 jute mills under the organization having an installed loom capacity of more than 10 thousand. But for various reasons, 10 jute mills are currently running with only 25 percent of the installed loom in operation. Having more than 40 percent of the loom capacity in case of composite mills, the BJMA mills are contributing 20-25 of the total production of the traditional jute goods.
