The difference between hessian and sacking is in the quality of the cloth and the jute used for its
production, the difference being primarily one of fineness, the former being made of finer grade jute,
the latter of coarser qualities. Hessian can be available in cloth lengths while the mills usually convert
sacking cloth into bags and sacks.

India has maintained the compulsory packing of food grains and sugar at 100% under Jute Packaging
