TEXTILE FIBERS

Textile fiber is the fibrous raw material from which textile fabrics are made. Cotton is the most important textile fiber in Mozambique and represents around 90% of the textile fibers produced in the country.

In addition to cotton, sisal cultivation has a greater impact in the north of the country, specifically in the province of Nampula, in the districts of Monapo, Angoche, Ilha de Moçambique, Mossuril and Memba.

The tradition of cotton and sisal production in Mozambique is centuries old and has gone through various phases and models.
