Yarn of vegetable textile fibres other than cotton (including flax, jute, coir and true hemp); paper yarn

cpc code 26380 covers a diverse range of yarn products derived from vegetable textile fibres, excluding cotton. These materials, such as flax, jute, coir, and true hemp, have unique properties and applications within the textile industry. The production and trade of these specialized yarns play a significant role in global textile supply chains, catering to the diverse needs of manufacturers, fashion designers, and consumers worldwide.

The production of yarns covered under cpc code 26380 typically involves a series of processing steps. First, the raw vegetable fibres are harvested, cleaned, and sorted. They are then subjected to various mechanical and chemical treatments to enhance their properties, such as softening, bleaching, or dyeing. The prepared fibres are then spun into continuous yarns using specialized machinery, which may include techniques like ring spinning, open-end spinning, or air-jet spinning, depending on the fibre type and desired yarn characteristics. Finally, the yarns may undergo additional finishing processes, such as twisting, plying, or winding, to meet the specific requirements of end-users.

The primary inputs for the production of yarns under cpc code 26380 are the various vegetable textile fibres, including flax, jute, coir, and true hemp. These raw materials are typically sourced from agricultural regions where the respective plants are cultivated. In addition to the fibres, the production process requires specialized machinery, such as spinning frames, winding machines, and finishing equipment. Energy sources, water, and various chemical additives may also be necessary, depending on the specific production techniques employed.

The main outputs of the industry covered by cpc code 26380 are the diverse range of yarns derived from vegetable textile fibres. These yarns can be used in a variety of applications, including the production of 26410 Woven fabrics of vegetable textile fibres other than cotton, 26420 Knitted or crocheted fabrics of vegetable textile fibres other than cotton, and 26430 Carpets and other textile floor coverings. Additionally, the paper yarn produced under this code may be utilized in the manufacture of 17110 Pulp, paper and paperboard, as well as in specialized paper-based products.
