| It's one of the benefits of using the abaca rather than the more-conventional glass fibers. |
| A leaf fiber and a member of the banana family, abaca makes an extremely strong pulp. |
| The shade papers are made from silk, banana, Kozo, mulberry, mango and abaca fibres. |
| Instead, traditional exports such as coconut, abaca and sugar have lost markets. |
| The principal cash crops are coconuts, bananas, pineapples, sugar, tobacco, and abaca. |
| Abaca is not a hemp but since hemp was the main source of fibres for centuries, the abaca fibre was named Manila hemp. |
