WHAT DOES MANILA HEMP MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Manila hemp

Manila hemp

Manila hemp is a type of buff-colored fiber obtained from Musa textilis, a relative of the banana, which is also called Manila hemp. It is mostly used for pulping for a range of uses, including speciality papers. It was once used mainly to make manila rope, but this is now of minor importance. Manila envelopes and manila paper take their name from this fibre. It is not actually hemp, but named so because hemp was long a major source of fiber, and other fibers were sometimes named after it. The name refers to the capital of the Philippines, one of the main producers of Manila hemp. The hatmaking straw made from Manila hemp is called Tagal or Tagal straw.
