France 6 ii fi Other countries 80 fi fi POSITION OF OVERSEAS COMMITMENT BY OCCUPIED LAND. After 25th March, the Bangladesh Jute Exporters and Millers have been seriously affected. Many old overseas commitments are still outstanding and have failed to honour International contracts of raw jute and jute goods. Almost all Jute Export Firms and Mills were completely closed down for many days. Now they have started on Army's directive having their production by 30% to 40%. Most of the Bengali efficient workers belong to Noakhali are very little in number now. Due to such low production, all the Jute exporters and Millers are running at loss by 50% to 60% as the production costs arc made with 3 shifts production along with market value of Bonus.

A New short scheme has been given to the Finance Secretary for direct purchase operation. But we did not encourage direct trade to avoid involvement of cash transaction until we get clearance for export. Some genuine parties have offered to purchase our jute with their cash and to pay us a profit or a commission as Royalty to our Bangladesh Government. These parties will start their purchase at the border belt with their own agreement, finance, godown and machineries etc. They will only pay us Royalty for the procurement of Bangladesh Jute. The License-holders may also sell their jute directly to them without involving our finance. For this business, the border areas may be divided into 6/7 Zones for the smooth running of the Jute Trade. They may be
