Sisal
Sisal is a natural and very hard fiber in nature. The botanical name of sisal is Agava sisalana. It is produced in different parts of the world. Sisal fiber is generally used for making rope, twine, paper, cloth, wall coverings, and dartboards. The sisal producing countries are earning huge foreign currency by exporting sisal fiber. Sisal was first cultivated in Brazil on a broad scale. First spinning mills for sisal fiber were also established in Brazil. In the present day, Brazil is the top sisal producing country in the world.
