      abstract = {The study examined the changes in raw jute marketing  system in Bangladesh. Ten primary and two secondary markets  were selected purposively from five intensive jute growing  and two jute trading areas of the country, respectively  during 2010-11. Between two terminal markets, annual  arrival of raw jute was found higher in Khulna (Daulatpur)  than that of Narayanganj. Most of the total raw jute is  exported through Chittagong and Mongla sea ports of the  country. The mode of payment for raw jute trading was  mostly dependent on credit system with higher pay off  period. None of the selected farmers sold any raw jute to  the government purchased centres during the study periods.  The number of licensed ‘dealer of jute’ as well as kutcha  and pucca presses have increased over the years. The study  identified more markets participants involved in the raw  jute marketing system over the previous studies. In terms  of profit (net margin) making, the performance of the  millers and the faria was relatively better than that of  other participants. Marketing costs and margins have  increased over the years, but their net margins as  percentage of total investment were not much higher. The  existing raw jute marketing system can be identified an  efficient system in terms of producers’ share of the  consumers’ prices. The study showed higher seasonal  variability and deviation in raw jute prices in the study  area. Raw jute should be purchased directly from jute  growers under public procurement programme with minimum  support price. },
