The plant Agave sisalana, commonly known as sisal, produces some of nature’s longest and strongest plant fibers and thrives in Tanzania’s hot tropical climate. Up until 1961, Tanzania was the world’s foremost sisal producer after which cheap synthetic fiber claimed almost half the global sisal market. Over the last three decades, sisal has made a comeback and Tanzania’s sisal industry has been revived.MeTL Group has played an important role over the years in the development of the country’s sisal industry and today produces over 30% of Tanzania’s total sisal output and is one of the nation’s major manufacturer of value-added sisal products. | www.metl.net
