Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday urged all to work sincerely for unlocking the huge potentials of jute and jute products.

India agreed in principle not to carry out investigations relating to anti-dumping and countervailing duties on jute goods exported from Bangladesh, a senior commerce ministry official said yesterday.

India has launched an anti-dumping investigation into imports of jute goods from Bangladesh to see whether the export prices are set below fair market prices. In October, the Directorate General of Anti-Dumping and Allied Duties (DGAD) under India's commerce ministry opened the probe as part of its plan to impose anti-dumping duty on jute items imported from Bangladesh.
