Mesta is a crop which can substitute jute. It has coarser fibre and is inferior to jute in quality in strength. It can be used to make coarser sacks and bags. Since it can tolerate drier conditions, it can be grown in areas unsuitable for the cultivation of jute. Mesta is cultivated in Assam, Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Kerala.
