A jute mill is a factory for processing jute. There is evidence of jute fibre extraction dating back to the Han dynasty, with a fragment of jute paper being discovered in Dunhuang, in the Gansu Province.[1] The first known mechanical jute mills are believed to have been converted Flax mills, the oldest possibly being establish in Dundee, after a contract was agreed with the East India Company, for the supply of jute as a substitute for then scarce flax, in 1820.[2][3][4] By the mid-1800s jute mills were being established in British India, George Acland's Mill of 1855, at Rishra, being the oldest.[5] The world's largest jute mill was the Adamjee Jute Mills at Narayanganj in Bangladesh, which closed all operations in 2002.[6]
Jack London worked in a jute mill before becoming a successful writer.[7]
