What do these and 20 other trees and plants have in common?


These are dye-yielding species and as such hold a potentially colorful niche in the natural dyes export market.


Their commercial potentials have been found in an extensive study done by researchers of the DOST-Philippine Textile Research Institute (PTRI).

                    [Summary] => There’s big money in pineapple and banana fibers, which are commonly regarded as wastes.


Like the fiber of abaca, those of pineapple and banana are good materials in making Philippine tropical fabric (PTF).


Actually, the fibers of the by-products of these three crops can be extracted, degummed, spun, and woven as inputs to the textile industry to create indigenous fabrics, pointed out the Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Textile Research Institute (DOST-PTRI).
