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]
