Explanation:

The conditions mentioned here are available only in the lower course of Ganga – Brahmaputra river system. As a result Jute cultivation is confined to West Bengal, Bihar and Assam.
Not just during cultivation but during processing also Jute requires water for a process called retting in which the fibre is extracted from the plant by rotting the plant in water for a long time. As a result, the Jute cultivation and processing is confined to river basins.
