Construction of Guangxi Sisal Industrial Park, China's Largest sisal products base, began recently in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.

Costing 200 million yuan (about 24 million U.S. dollars), the industrial park will cover an area of 3,300 hectares and yield 30,000 tons of sisal products each year.

The first phase of the project will cost 30 million yuan and be completed by March 2002.

The wear-resistant and environment-friendly fibre of sisal, instead of synthetic fibre, is becoming increasingly popular on international market.

China has the largest sisal output in the world, half of which comes from Guangxi. The region now exports 5,000 tons of sisal products each year.
