Explanation

Retting of jute is a microbiological process where naturally occurring bacteria and microorganisms break down the pectic substances that bind the fibers to the woody stem. This biological decomposition separates the long jute fibers from the non-fibrous tissues. It is not chemical, physical, or mechanical - it relies entirely on microbial action in water.
