BANANA FIBRE EXTRACTION AND HAND MADE PAPER

The use of “Banana” fiber for textile and other purpose as natural material is a new concept for India. However, considerable research work has been done by textile research organizations including BITRA, CITRA, KVIC( Khadi Village Industry Corporation) and NRCB (National Research Centre for Banana-Trichy) and it has been found that banana fiber can be a very promising source of natural fiber in the coming period. It may be noted that this fiber is already used successfully in Philippines since decades and hence it is also known popularly as “Manila Hemp”. The other name of this fiber is “Abaca”, it belongs to musa sapientum species.
