Banana fibre is extracted from the pseudo stem Sheath of the plant. The extraction can be done mainly in three ways: Biological, chemical and Mechanical. Of these, mechanical extraction is the best way to obtain fiber of quantity in an eco-friendly way. In this process the fiber is extracted by inserting the pseudo stem sheaths one by one into a raspador machine. The raspador machine removes non-fibrous tissues and the coherent material from the fiber bundle present in the sheath. After extraction, the fiber is shade dried for a day and packed in bags. Then it is stored away from moisture and light to keep it in good condition until it is used.
