A bit over the top?

Lots of information- good looking page, but overall, just a bit like an advert for Bangladeshi jute. Given that according to the table in it India produces more, I removed the unreferenced statement that the best source is the mostly Bangladeshi delta; it just added up wrong to me.

contradiction?

it says in the intro "The primary source of the fiber is Corchorus olitorius, but such fiber is considered inferior to that derived from Corchorus capsularis." olitorius being tossa jute and capsularis being white jute. later under the tossa jute section it says that tossa jute is softer, silkier and stronger than white jute. this part however seems to have no citations. so how exactly is Tossa jute inferior to white jute?
