What is sisal?

Sisal is a natural fiber that is derived from the leaves of the Agave sisalana plant, which is native to Mexico but is now cultivated in many other countries as well. The fiber is extracted from the leaves by crushing and scraping, and then it is dried and processed into various products. Sisal is known for its strength, durability, and resistance to deterioration, making it a popular material for a wide range of applications. It is commonly used in the production of ropes, twines, carpets, mats, and other similar products.
