Six quality parameters of jute fibers, that is, strength, defect, root content, color, fineness, and bulk density are regarded as the criteria for grading of raw jute. The relative weights for different criteria are estimated using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The criteria such as strength, root content, and fineness are measured experimentally, whereas defect, color, and bulk density are determined subjectively. The 10 Tossa jute lots are ranked based on the TOPSIS method of Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM). The ranking of jute attained by this method shows a significant agreement with that of traditional method as practiced in India.
