Question

What is any two main fibre crops?

Hint:

Cotton = black soil; jute = alluvial soil with heavy rainfall.

Answer 1

Fibre crops are grown mainly for their fibres used in textiles and packaging. Cotton grows well in black soil with warm temperatures, especially in Maharashtra and Gujarat. Jute requires alluvial soil and heavy rainfall and is grown mostly in West Bengal, Assam, and Bihar. Cotton provides raw material for cloth, while jute is essential for gunny bags and ropes. Both crops are economically important for India's agricultural and industrial sectors.
