Origin: Tanzania
Origin & Sourcing
Tanzania's sisal production is concentrated in the northeastern and coastal regions, where established sisal estates and processing facilities have operated for decades. The tropical climate and well-drained soils produce strong, resilient fibers ideal for industrial applications.
Our Grade 3L sisal fiber is extracted from mature agave leaves through mechanical decortication, then washed, dried in the tropical sun, and brushed to remove residual plant material. Grading is performed according to commercial fiber classification standards, with Grade 3L representing a longer fiber than short-grade categories while maintaining commercial cleanliness requirements.
After grading, fibers are compressed into export bales using hydraulic presses, strapped, and wrapped for protection during ocean transit.
