Fibre crops
Fibre crops are plants cultivated primarily for their fibers, which are used to produce textiles, rope, paper, and other materials. These crops include cotton, flax, hemp, and jute. The fibers are extracted from different parts of the plant—like seeds, stems, or leaves—and processed to create fabrics and industrial products. Fibre crops are important for sustainable manufacturing, as they provide natural, biodegradable alternatives to synthetic fibers, and they often require less energy and chemical use during production. They play a crucial role in the global textile and packaging industries while supporting economic development in agricultural regions.
