Bangladesh Jute Mills Corporation (BJMC) is a public corporation that manages all government-owned jute factories and industries in Bangladesh. The corporation is located in Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh.[1] In addition to the jute mills, it also owns several public entities in other fields[which?] for the purposes of funding and revenue collection.[2][3]

History

[edit]

The BJMC corporation was formed in 1972 when the government of Bangladesh nationalised all the jute mills in the country as part of an effort to institute new socialist policies.[1] The corporation is currently responsible for managing nine state-run jute mills in Bangladesh,[4] including Adamjee Jute Mills.[5] In 2016, the government announced plans to upgrade the jute mills by spending $340 million USD with Chinese assistance.[6]

The corporation also has a professional football team called Team BJMC.[7]
