| Abstract/Description: | Different species of Agave (Asparagaceae family) namely Agave sisa/ana, Agave canta/a, Agave vera-cruz, Agave amaniensis, Agave angustifolia and Agave fourcryodes can produce hard fibre from its leaf. Sisal (Agave sisa/ana Perrine ex Engelm., Family: Asparagaceae )is a native of the Yucatan area of Mexico where the fibre had been used by the native Mexican people for centuries. Later, around 1836, sisal was introduced to Florida. Other than Mexico, wide cultivation of sisal was started in Tanzania, where it was introduced by Dr. Richard Hindorf, an Agronomist from Germany in 1893 . In the present world, major sisal producing countries are Brazil, Tanzania, Kenya, China and Mexico. |
