Production process of Hemp Fiber
1.Cultivation:
1. Grow hemp in warm climates with well-drained
soil.
2. Harvest when plants reach peak fiber quality.
2.Processing:
1. Separate fibers from woody core through retting.
2. Dry fibers to prevent mold.
3. Break and scutch to clean and purify.
4. Hackle or comb for alignment.
5. Bale processed fibers for storage.
3.Textile Production:
1. Spin fibers into yarn.
2. Weave or knit yarn into fabric.

History of Ramie Fiber:
Ancient Times : Ramie has been cultivated in China for over 6000
years, making it one of the oldest fiber crops.
20th Century: Ramie faced competition from other fibers like cotton
and synthetic materials, leading to a decline in it’s cultivation and
use.
Process
• Propagation: Stem cuttings
• Planting: 5-8 cm deep, 1-1.5 m spacing
• Care: Regular watering, weed control, fertilization
• Harvest: 6-8 months, cut close to ground
Post-Harvest
• Fiber Extraction: Retting (water or chemical)
Boehmeria nivea (Ramie) • Processing: Washing, drying for textile use
Conclusion
•Sustainable, ancient fiber crop with versatile applications

Producer country of
Ramie Fiber
• Primary Producer: China is the leading producer of
ramie fiber.
• Historical Cultivation: The plant, Boehmeria nivea,
is native to East Asia, and China has a longstanding
history of cultivating ramie.
• Global Contribution: While other countries like
Brazil and certain Southeast Asian nations also
contribute, China maintains a dominant position in
ramie fiber production.

Production process of Ramie
1. Cultivation:
1. Grow ramie in tropical or subtropical regions with
well-drained soil.
2. Harvest when plants are in full bloom, around 90-
150 days after planting.
2. Processing:
1. Retting separates fibers from the woody stalk using
methods like water retting.
2. Hackle or comb fibers for cleanliness and alignment.
3. Textile Production:
1. Spin cleaned fibers into yarn.
2. Weave or knit yarn into fabric.
4. Finishing:
1. Optionally dye, soften, or treat the finished ramie
fabric for specific applications.
