The primary source of the fiber is Corchorus olitorius, but such fiber is considered inferior to that derived from Corchorus capsularis. [ 1 ] Jute fibers, composed primarily of cellulose and lignin , are collected from bast (the phloem of the plant, sometimes called the "skin") of plants like kenaf , industrial hemp , flax ( linen ), and ramie .
