Banana slaughter? Noooooo! Of course not :) Manu

Banana slaughter?
Noooooo! Of course not :)
Manual banana fibre extraction
.

Banana is one of the most important fruit crops grown in India. In respect of area it ranks second and first in production only after mango in this country. India leads the world in banana production with an annual output of about 16.820 mt.

Banana is a quick growing and short-lived plant. Every two years - after the fruit harvest the old plants are cut to give space for new shoots that will be carrying next batch of fruit.
Most of these stems are either left to rot or get converted into manure. Extracting banana fibre from the stems provides additional income to farmers and therefore promotes a positive impact on their livelihood.
Banana fibre is found in the outer side of the banana stem layers and it’s the one of nature’s strongest and most resilient fibers with great elasticity and durability.

It’s one of our primary raw material for making Malai Biocomposite and we really couldn’t do without it!
