The section of "Long Vegetable Fibres" focuses on the progress of research and development on long vegetable fibres. In comparison with research and development on non-cellulosic manmade fibres, the amount of research and development on natural fibres is very low. Research orientated towards immediate application and development has been given priority over basic research. In recent past, research and development work on long vegetable fibres has been concentrated primarily in two regions, namely, in the Indian sub-continent for jute and allied fibres, and in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe for flax.
