Abstract

The study was conducted to determine the marketing practices and the profitability of establishing Abaca in the Caraga Region. A total of One Thousand Two Hundred Fifty-Six (1256) farmers, Seventy-Seven (77) traders, and three (3) processors were interviewed as the respondents of the study. Their names were obtained from the Philippine Fiber Development Authority (PhilFIDA) and the Municipal Agriculture Office (MAO) of the concerned municipalities of the Region. Data gathering activities included interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs), and stakeholder forums were conducted to validate and gather additional information. The said Focus Group Discussion and Stakeholders’ Forum were attended by the farmers, officers in various cooperatives, traders, representatives from the regional line offices, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Department of Agriculture (DA), Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) Municipal Agriculture Offices (MAO), Academe, Provincial Agriculture Officer. In the Caraga Region, abaca traders are situated in Agusan del Norte 28 or 36.36%, Agusan del Sur 25 or 32.47%, Surigao del Sur 24 or 31.17% and no traders in the province of Surigao del Norte. The one who sets the price for abaca fiber is the trader/buyer 99.28 % and only 0.71% sets by the farmer. The means of contacting buyers are referrals by the farmers 32.96%; traders will come to the farmers 27.46%, recommended by the Local Government Unit (LGU) 23.88%, and traders who are known by the cooperatives 15.68%. The buyers’ requirements in buying abaca fibers are quality 63.69% and volume 36.30%. Traders engage in buying Abaca for more than 15 years or 38.5%; 1-5 years, 30.12%; 11-15 years, 18.07% and 6-10 years, 13.25%. The means of transporting abaca fiber is through motorcycles 43.37% and hired trucks 56.61%. The estimated monthly volume sold is 1- 5 metric tons or 92.77% and 6 – 10 metric tons. The farmer’s Abaca fibers through Barangay or Municipal Traders, Cooperatives/Consolidators, Baling and Grading Establishment, Processors, and exporters. The issues and concerns for the traders are the following: classification and grading of fiber, cheating abaca bundles where stones inserted to increase weights, abaca fiber not adequately dried, and piles of Abaca are mixed with other fibers. The profitability of abaca farming for 1 hectare /year is the average of P48,000 for a typical farm, while for a good farm is P115,200 – 192,000.

Introduction

The "Manila hemp," known internationally for its world-class fiber, continues to be one of the priority agricultural commodities of the Department of Agriculture (DA). The Philippines supplies more than 87.4 percent of the total abaca fiber market and earns more than $111.33 million in global abaca trade annually (PCA, 2017).

In 2022, as per PhilFIDA data, Caraga ranked third among the top abaca-producing regions in the country with an estimated 10,000 metric tons (MT) of fiber production, next to Bicol Region (1st) and Davao Region (2nd).

Abaca is in great demand in the world market today because of its lucrative value in industries such as making security papers, paper money, ropes, insulators, and other handicrafts. The most important part of the Abaca is the stalk which is the source of the fiber. Abaca fiber is superior to all other natural fibers because of its great strength and its resistance to the action of water. It is three times stronger than cotton, the most potent natural fiber. 

The country’s overall fiber production is estimated at 62,640.63MT, remaining the top abaca-producing country, supplying 85% of the fiber demand in the world.

Pulp, which accounts for 69.2 percent market share of the abaca exports, has reported earnings of $ 79.4 million or an increase of 11.7 percent. Abaca cordage, which grabbed a market share of 10 percent, fell to $ 11.4 million. Fiber crafts exports also fell 67.3% to $3.7 million (The Philippine Star, 2016). The pulp manufacturing industry is the leading end-user of abaca fiber, followed by cordage manufacturing and fiber craft industry. It was reported that due to the increasing use of abaca fiber in specialty paper manufacturing, the demand for fiber among pulp manufacturers is constantly surging, and the trend is expected to prevail in 2014-2019. Among the leading abaca fiber suppliers, Ching Bee Trading Corporation dominates the market in the Philippines, followed by Tag Fibers, Inc. and Selinrail International. 

For the past half-decade, the Abaca industry helped boost the country’s economy from its export earnings with an annual average of P4.7 billion, mainly in the Visayas and Mindanao Islands. Abaca fibers are cultivated across 176,549 hectares of farmlands by over 122,758 farmers. Moreover, in recent years, it has been perceived that aside from the substantial contributions of Abaca to the economy, its utilization can also provide numerous ecological advantages (www.philfida.da.gov.ph, 2019).

With the continuing development of the fiber craft industry in the Philippines, the abaca fiber market has been witnessing a boost due to the growing demand for gifts, toys, and housewares. Moreover, increasing consumer inclination for lifestyle products is further expected to strengthen the growth trend for abaca crafts in the coming years. There are only two significant exporters of abaca fiber in the world – the Philippines and Ecuador, with the Philippines accounting for over 80% of the global production of abaca fiber. In the Philippines, the abaca plant is cultivated across 130 thousand hectares of land by over 90 thousand farmers. 

Asia Pacific was the largest market for abaca fiber in terms of production and consumption over the past few years, and the trend is expected to continue over the forecast period. The Philippines, the world's largest abaca producer, hold a significant market share in Asia Pacific. A considerable portion of produced abaca fiber in the Philippines is internally consumed, while a substantial amount is exported to various countries, including U.S., Japan, and other European countries. The Philippine government supports initiatives to increase high-quality abaca fiber production levels for domestic consumption and export. This is expected to strengthen its market positioning further and open market opportunities for new players over the next seven years (Erie News, 2019).

Thus, this undertaking is critical to fill the data gaps of the recently conducted Value Chain Analysis of the Commodity in the Region. Profiling tells us the actual scenario of how many abaca farmers engaged in this commodity, what support programs they availed in our present administration, what they need, and what other issues and concerns so that our government can also make some intervention programs for our abaca industry.

Major end-user industries of abaca fiber include paper and pulp, fibercraft, and cordage. The paper and pulp industry is the largest end-user industry for abaca fiber, followed by cordage manufacturing and fiber craft industry. Increasing the application scope of abaca fiber in specialty paper manufacturing is likely a critical factor driving demand for abaca fibers in the paper & pulp industry. The rising market for cordage in industrial applications, including the production of ropes for ships, is expected to boost its demand over the next seven years.

A look at 15 of the world's most important animal and plant fibers

This article provides an overview of 15 of the most important animal and plant fibers. The range of fibers includes cotton, the main source of fibers in the world, and other specialty fibers like cashmere, which, although produced in lesser quantities, possess distinct characteristics that put them in the market for luxury textiles.

The plant fibers comprise seed hairs such as cotton and stem (or bast) fibers, like hemp and flax; leaf fibers like sisal; and husk fibers found in coconut.

Animal fibers are hair, wool, and secretions, including silk.

Plant fibers

Abaca is a leaf fiber composed of slim, long cells that form part of its supporting structures. The amount of lignin is high, 15 percent. Abaca is sought-after for its outstanding mechanical strength, buoyancy, resistance to damage from saltwater, and length of fiber up to 3 meters. The highest Abaca grades are very fine shiny, lustrous, light in color, and extremely durable. It was once a popular source of rope used in the rigging of ships; abaca has shown potential as a green alternative to glass fibers in vehicles.

Coir: Among vegetable fibers, Coir has one of the largest levels of lignin. This makes it more durable but less flexible than cotton and unsuitable for dyeing. Coir's tensile strength is not as strong as the abaca fiber, but it has excellent resistance to microbial activity and saltwater damage. A coarse, thin fiber extracted from the coconut's outer shell, Coir can be found in mattresses, ropes, geotextiles, brushes, and even automobile seats.

Cotton: It's nearly pure cellulose with breathability and softness, which are the main reasons for it being the world's most popular natural fiber. Fiber length ranges from 10 to 65 millimeters, and its diameter ranges between 11 and 22 microns. It can absorb moisture quickly and makes cotton clothing more comfortable in hot temperatures as well as its capacity in detergents ensures that they're easy to clean. It is the most extensively used natural fiber and remains an undisputed "king" in the textile industry worldwide.

Flax is similar to cotton in that flax fiber is a cellulose-based polymer; however, its structure is more crystallized, which makes it more durable, crisper and more rigid to work with, and less prone to wrinkle. Flax fibers are available in lengths up to 90 centimeters, typically between 12 and 16 microns across. The fibers absorb water and then release it swiftly, making linen easy to wear in hot temperatures. One of the strongest plant fibers, flax, was among the first fibers to be spun, extracted, and weaved into textiles.

Hemp: Long, sturdy, and long-lasting Hemp fibers comprise around 70% cellulose. They

have very little lignin (around 8-10 percent). The diameter of the fiber is between 16 and 50 microns. Hemp fiber is a heat conductor and dyes well, is resistant to mildew, blocks UV light, and has natural antibacterial properties. The shorter, more woody fibers ("tow") have more lignin. It is easy to grow without the use of agrochemicals. Hemp is being used more and more in Agrotextiles, car panels, and fibreboard, as well as "colonized" in clothing.

Jute is known as"the "golden fiber" Jute is soft, long, and shiny and has a length of 1 to 4 meters and a diameter of 17-20 microns. It is among nature's strongest fibers from plants and is just behind cotton in the amount produced. Jute is extremely insulated and has anti-static qualities, moderate moisture retention, and very low conductivity to heat. Strong threads made of jute fiber are utilized worldwide in sackcloth. They also help provide the basic needs of millions of small-scale farmers.

Ramie: It's transparent with silky-luster-like flax in absorbency and density. However, it's more coarse (25-30 millimeters). It is one of nature's most incredibly elastic fibers; it's also very soft and dyed quickly. Ramie strands can be from 190 to 190 cm long, with cells as tall as 40 centimeters. The trans-fiber fiber fissures in ramie make it bri but also favor air circulation. Although it isn't widely known outside of the East Asian countries that produce it, ramie has lightweight and silky. It is designed to be used in the heat of summer.

Sisal: Glamorous and creamy white, sisal fiber measures as long as 1m with an average diameter of between 200 and 400 microns. Sisal is considered to be a rough fibrous fiber that is not suitable for fabric or textiles. However, it is strong, flexible, durable, and stretches easily. It doesn't easily absorb moisture and is resistant to saltwater degradation, and has a smooth surface that can take an array of dyes. A bit rough for upholstery and clothing, sisal is being used to replace glasses in the composite material used in the production of furniture and cars.

Animal fibers

Alpaca is a bit hollow, ranging from 20 to 70 microns thick, and is available in 22 natural colors. It is lighter, more durable than sheep's wool, and is a great insulation. Huacayo alpacas create soft long, dense fibers. Meanwhile, the Suri's fleece is shiny, silky, and straight. Alpaca mixes well mohair, wool, and silk. It is soft and dense. Silky and shiny alpaca is used to produce high-end luxury fabric and outdoor sportswear.

Angora Hair: The silky white hair of the angora is a hollow fiber classified as wool. It is among the silkiest animal fibers, with a width of around 14-16 microns. Angorawool is extremely comfortable to the touch because of its low-relief cuticle scales. Silky, fine, and extremely smooth to the touch. The wool of that of the Angora rabbit is utilized in top-quality knitwear.

Also Read What’s Natural Cotton?

Camel: Fine down fiber found in the Bactrian camel has an average of 20 microns in size and ranges in length between 2.5 to 12.5 cm. Baby camel hair that can be as small as 16 microns (on the same level as fine cashmere) is the softest and most sought-after. It's high value and quality make it used in luxurious textiles. The finest quality fiber is made using drop spindles by women in nomadic households in Mongolia in Mongolia and Inner Mongolia, China.

Cashmere US Standards set an average diameter of cashmere's fiber that is no greater than 19 microns. The best quality fiber is 14 microns. It is naturally crimped, which allows the fiber to spin into fine and light fabric. Cashmere has tiny air pockets between the fibers that allow it to be warm without weight, as thin cuticle cells that line the fiber's surface make it shiny and smooth. It's rare, luxurious, and costly: the wool of 6 Kashmir goats can be enough to create one sports coat made of cashmere.

Mohair is light and insulating. Its tensile strength is considerably superior to the strength of Merino wool. Like wool, mohair also has surface scales. However, they are smaller, which makes them soft to the touch. Light-reflecting off of the surface gives mohair its distinctive Lustre. The thin surface scales make mohair soft to the touch, and the light reflection from its surface creates a distinctive shine.

Silk's filament is a continuous thread with a high strength that ranges from 500 - 1500 meters long and has a thickness of 10-13 microns. When woven, the fiber's triangular shape acts as a prism, which reflects light and gives silk cloth its coveted "natural sparkle." It's a great absorbent material with low conductivity and dyes quickly. The process was first developed in early China and used only by high-ranking officials; silk remains the "queen of textiles."

Wool has natural scale patterns and crispiness, which make it simple to spin. Wool fabrics have more bulk, are more insulating, and are supple, elastic, and long-lasting. The diameter of the fiber ranges from 16 microns in superfine wool (similar to cashmere) up to 40 microns for coarse, hairy wools. The limited supply and exceptional properties have made wool the world's best textile fiber.

Hemp - The Most Eco-Friendly Fabric For Furniture?

There has been a great deal of promotion recently concerning material building as well as the different products where it is made. "Synthetic" fabrics made from oil feed-stocks have actually been panned as not lasting. There has actually been progress in making these type of textiles from bio-based oil derivative basic material, however not much is being done commercially.

"Organic" cotton has obtained a lot of press too, but the integral issues in creating cotton remain. The lengthy warm growing period, the copious quantity of water needed for the plant, as well as the vulnerability to a selection of parasites as well as illness require a lot of treatment by the farmer, whether with herbicides as well as chemicals or equivalent amounts of organic choices. Some other "quick renewal" fabric items are currently on the market such as bamboo, abaca, linen, and fabric made from various other lawns. Their rapid development indicates they soak up a lot of carbon in the atmosphere promptly, yet especially in the case of bamboo, the toxic chemicals needed to separate the fiber from the various other plant product before it can be woven, is problematic. There is one rapidly expanding all-natural product that offers itself nicely for textile that is eco-friendly from a growing and also processing perspective. The product is mainly grown in Eastern Europe and also Asia where subsistence ranches make it a cash crop. I am speaking of hemp-a fiber that has actually been expanded by people considering that primitive times for its fiber, oil, medicinal high qualities, and as a base for soaps, creams, creams and shampoos. Every year, an acre of land will generate as much fiber as 2-3 acres of cotton. The fiber is more powerful and also softer than cotton, lasts two times as lengthy in use, as well as will not mildew. Historically most hemp fiber was used for rope (ropes) and the many weird names for aquatic ropes stem from the different certain fiber blends and also strengths for details on board ship makes use of. Hemp Derived Thc grows in a much broader climate variety than cotton as well as is frost forgiving. In addition to the fiber for fabrics, hemp can be used for paper, cardboard, a plastic replacement as well as also as gas (believe bio-diesel). It is interesting to keep in mind that in the United States most paper is made from tree fiber-which take years to grow to harvestable dimension. A hemp crop can be harvested in 120 days as well as calls for no hazardous chemicals to release the fiber from the pulp. (Any individual who has actually passed an operating paper mill will certainly connect to this!) Hemp fiber is launched mechanically by heavy steam and also machinery. It is stressful that hemp has actually been unlawful to expand in the US considering that the 1930's, and made more stringent regarding a years earlier. Its relative, marijuana, has essentially equivalent fallen leave and stem structure, but Cannabis Hemp Thc Edibles(Indian hemp) does not have the THC material that makes marijuana such a social issue.

Most nations in the EU, plus Canada as well as Australia, permit industrial hemp to be expanded. In Eastern Europe and also Asia, hemp has actually always been a legitimate crop that replenishes the soil as well as does not require pricey herbicides and chemicals. Nevertheless, commercial hemp is lawful for import as well as sale in the United States, yet illegal to grow as a residential plant. This state of affairs indicates that American consumers can gain from the green nature of the product, when utilized in their clothes or furnishings, as well as are sustaining mainly third world agricultural initiatives to be self-sufficient as well as enriching their standard of life.

Knitting method

This method is especially popular for winter projects where there are many different styles of knitting with varying thicknesses, so you can choose from a variety of styles for the project. For example, knits with a loose texture add softness to the design, or knits with a denser texture create a chic and warm spirit for cold days.

Hides

This is a term that refers to animal skins that have been dried or tanned for use in fashion. Hides cover all skin types with and without surface hairs. Hides also include furs and furs harvested from animals that have hair as soft as wool or horsehair.

Leather

It is a fabric made from animal skin that has been removed by various methods. With this leather fabric, one can take the furry outer skin and clean the entire cage on the surface and then put it into use, or use the inner suede of the animal, which is softer.

Skins

Obtained from smaller animals such as goats or sheep. This fabric is thinner than hides as well as softer and feels good in contact with the wearer’s skin.

Hides

Hides are obtained from the collection or skin of large animals such as cows. The length of animals with hides is called a hide, and the length must be 1 m or more. The nature of this skin type will be thicker than the skin, and the ability to keep warm is also great.

3How to choose the right fabric

The most important thing when choosing fabrics for a project is to choose fabrics that meet the properties as well as the correlation of the fabric with the design of the project. Remembering the characteristics of each fabric is extremely important because the texture of each fabric is different, so the use is also different.

For example, if you have a fashion project for the summer, make sure the fabric you use has good breathability properties so it can be used on hot days. Likewise, if you decide to launch a collection geared towards winter weather, fabrics with good warmth properties should be of the utmost concern.

The combination of two or more fabrics is quite common for many fashion designs, whether it is a combination of fabrics with similar properties or completely different in nature, creating accents for the outfit. But you need to make sure that the combination will give a harmonious whole and not be too dependent on a certain property of the fabric.

4Final words

Each project needs to use the most appropriate fabrics that can bring out the spirit of the collection and resonate with the brand. We really hope that our information can give you new perspectives and help you make good choices for your future projects.

Paper & Pulp Industry to Dominate Philippines Abaca Fiber Market During Forecast Period

Increasing demand from various end user industries to propel Philippines Abaca Fiber market

According to TechSci Research report, “Philippines Abaca Fiber Market By Fiber Size, By Strand, By End User Industry, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2024”, the Philippines abaca fiber market is forecast to grow at around 6% during 2019 - 2024 owing to the properties possessed by the abaca fibers such as resistance against salt water, high tensile strength, lower elongation, among others. Additionally, abaca fibers help in preventing soil erosion and holding water. They are also sustainable and biodegradable, which is further propelling their market demand. However, these fibers cannot be mixed uniformly with polymer composites due to their natural properties, which complicates the composite fabrication process in textile industry, thereby limiting their use in textile industry.
