Sisal Farming

Sisal is one of the fibers that have lately recorded a fast increase in demand. This can be ascribed to an increasing awareness of the need to use eco-friendly materials. An increase in demand regularly leads to improved commodity prices, therefore making sisal production a very lucrative venture. Kenya is among the largest producers of sisal. Research shows that Kenyan sisal production and yield has been decreasing in the last four decades. This is the trend in the other sisal producing nations, except China and Brazil whose production has been rising.
Sisal is a climate resilient crop and thrives in all types of weather conditions. With expansive lands in Northern Kenya comes an opportunity for economic utilization. This not only creates an economical advantage but also ecological -making use of the vast virgin lands. Growing Sisal will not only add to the GDP of the country but also act as a source of livelihood to marginalized communities.
