Currently in the world Banana fiber Not yet large-scale development and utilization, around 129 countries in the world grow bananas, and banana stems and skins are discarded every year. Japan has taken the lead in the research and development of banana fiber. The company has successfully realized the industrialization of banana fiber, and Southeast Asian countries such as India, which have abundant banana resources, have done a lot of research. China's extraction and product development of this kind of fiber are in progress.

The data showed that the technical index of banana fiber was: the average breaking strength of bundle fiber was 393CN/dtex, and the average fiber count was 2386Nm. The degumming can be used directly for spinning the banana fiber at a price of 70 thousand yuan / ton. The fiber has been used to produce banana fiber yarn 36Nm, 48Nm and 60Nm, and the gray fabric has a 48Nm * 48Nm.
60 x 60 1/1 and so on.

The development and production of banana fiber and products has added a new type of environmental friendly natural fiber material to the textile industry. It will play a positive role in promoting the development of the textile industry. Banana fiber, yarn and products have broad application prospects and have good economic and social benefits.

India Artificial fabrics Textile entrepreneurs in the industry are ready to start using natural banana fibers to create biodegradable and environmentally friendly textile products.

The artificial Textile Research Association (MANTRA) has successfully prepared fabrics made from banana fiber. These fabrics are woven by dynamic looms, then dyed, printed and finished, and then coated and glued to make textile products.

Some textile products made from banana fiber include flame retardant curtain fabric, waterproof breathable shoe lining fabric, household decoration fabric, banana fiber carpet and blanket.

Come from Artificial textile According to the Research Association, the Kasetsart University has joined the decision to study Banana Planters in southern Gujarat, and they can supply fiber to the local textile industry.

Banana production is on the rise. At present, banana production accounts for fifth in all Gujarat states in India. Only South Gujarat accounts for 54% of the total banana production in the state. Banning the banana tree after harvest is a big problem. Moving banana stems from banana fields to processing sites involves labor costs and transportation problems.

At present, the fiber extracted from banana stems by using peeling machine is expected to bring the net income of farmers to 23000 rupees / ha. The extraction of fiber from bananas in the textile and paper industry is a potential opportunity for rural employment.
