Growing of fibre crops

NACE v2.1 Code: A01.16

About growing of fibre crops

NACE code 01.16 covers the growing of fibre crops, an important agricultural activity that supports various industries. Fibre crops, such as cotton, flax, hemp, and jute, are cultivated for their long, strong fibres, which are used in the production of textiles, ropes, and other industrial materials. This industry plays a crucial role in the global supply chain, providing raw materials for 13.10 Spinning, weaving and finishing of textiles and 14.11 Manufacture of leather clothes industries.

Production process

The production of fibre crops typically involves several key steps. First, the land is prepared through plowing, fertilizing, and sowing the seeds. As the plants grow, they are carefully tended, with activities such as weeding, watering, and pest control. When the crops reach maturity, they are harvested, often by hand or using specialized machinery. The harvested fibres are then processed, which may include retting, drying, and cleaning, before being baled and transported to textile manufacturers or other end-users.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the growing of fibre crops include arable land, suitable climate conditions, seeds or seedlings, fertilizers, and water. Farmers may also utilize various tools and equipment, such as tractors, plows, and harvesting machines, to facilitate the production process. Additionally, labour, both skilled and unskilled, is a crucial input for tasks like planting, tending, and harvesting the crops.

Production outputs

The primary output of the growing of fibre crops industry is the raw fibre material, which is then used as an input for 13.10 Spinning, weaving and finishing of textiles and 14.11 Manufacture of leather clothes. The fibres may also be used in the production of other industrial products, such as ropes, sacks, and insulation materials. The industry's outputs are essential for meeting the global demand for textile and industrial products.
