Workers look like they are wearing giant wigs as they carry jute to a market in Manikganj, Bangladesh. The pictures were taken by photographer Syed Mahabubul Kader from Dhaka, Bangladesh.<br />
<br />
He said “Jute is a natural fibre derived from plants. The long, soft and shiny fibres are spun into coarse, strong thread which have many uses. Jute is second to only cotton in terms of amount of production. It is also referred to as the ‘golden fibre’ due to its colour and cost-effectiveness.”<br />
<br />
“The workers carry 50kgs of jute at a time as they transport it to the wholesale market for buyers to purchase.”<br />
