Growing of fibre crops

NACE v2.0 Code: A01.16

About growing of fibre crops

NACE code 01.16 covers the growing of fibre crops, an important agricultural activity that supplies raw materials for a variety of industries. Fibre crops, such as cotton, flax, hemp, and jute, are cultivated globally and play a crucial role in the textile, paper, and composite materials sectors. This industry is a key contributor to the broader agricultural economy, providing employment and supporting rural development in many regions.

Production process

The production of fibre crops typically involves several key steps. First, the land is prepared through plowing, fertilization, and sowing of the crop seeds. As the plants grow, they are carefully tended, with activities like weeding, irrigation, and pest management. When the crops reach maturity, they are harvested, often by hand or using specialized machinery. The harvested fibre is then processed, which may include retting, drying, and cleaning, to extract the usable fibres from the plant material.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the growing of fibre crops include arable land, suitable climate conditions, seeds or seedlings, water for irrigation, and agricultural equipment and machinery. Fertilizers, pesticides, and other agro-chemicals may also be used to optimize crop yields. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled agricultural workforce to carry out the various cultivation and harvesting tasks.

Production outputs

The primary output of the fibre crop growing industry is the raw fibre material, which is then consumed by various downstream industries. These include the 13.10 Manufacture of textiles, 17.11 Manufacture of pulp, and 22.21 Manufacture of plastic plates, sheets, tubes and profiles. The fibre crops may also be used for the production of biofuels or as animal feed, depending on the specific crop and its properties.
