Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Fibre Crop Production — Fibre crop production refers to the annual agricultural production output of crops primarily cultivated for obtaining natural fibres used in textiles, ropes, paper, and other industrial applications. The indicator measures the quantity of fibre crops produced within a country or region over a specified period, reported in tonnes or metric tons. It includes major fibre-producing crops such as cotton, jute, flax, hemp, sisal, and other plant-based fibres, with production statistics reflecting agricultural cultivation, harvesting, and output levels. The data represents country-level production trends and is compiled from international agricultural databases, including FAO and national agricultural reporting systems where available.
The indicator includes the production volume of agricultural fibre crops grown for commercial, industrial, and domestic fibre extraction purposes. It covers harvested quantities of natural fibre crops such as cotton, jute, flax, hemp, sisal, kenaf, and other similar crops classified under fibre crop production. The data includes production from both large-scale commercial farming and smallholder agricultural systems, capturing annual output changes, cultivation patterns, and regional variations in fibre crop supply.
The indicator excludes synthetic fibres derived from petrochemical or industrial processes, processed textile products, yarns, fabrics, and other manufactured fibre-based goods. It does not include fibre crops grown solely for non-fibre purposes, agricultural residues, waste materials, or secondary fibre recovery from recycled sources. The data also excludes downstream processing activities such as spinning, weaving, textile manufacturing, and trade activities, focusing only on primary agricultural production of fibre crops.
About this indicator
Fibre Crop Production — Fibre crop production refers to the annual agricultural production output of crops primarily cultivated for obtaining natural fibres used in textiles, ropes, paper, and other industrial applications. The indicator measures the quantity of fibre crops produced within a country or region over a specified period, reported in tonnes or metric tons. It includes major fibre-producing crops such as cotton, jute, flax, hemp, sisal, and other plant-based fibres, with production statistics reflecting agricultural cultivation, harvesting, and output levels. The data represents country-level production trends and is compiled from international agricultural databases, including FAO and national agricultural reporting systems where available.
It measures the quantity of fibre crops produced within Myanmar and provides insights into agricultural productivity, cultivation patterns, and the country’s role in natural fibre supply.
Between 2015 and 2024, Myanmar’s fibre crop production showed gradual growth, reflecting continued agricultural activity and the importance of fibre crops within rural farming systems. Cotton cultivation and other fibre-producing crops contribute to rural employment, agricultural income generation, and raw material availability for domestic industries. Production changes are influenced by climatic conditions, farming methods, availability of agricultural inputs, and market conditions.
The indicator includes harvested fibre crop production from commercial agricultural operations and smallholder farming communities. It captures annual output variations, cultivation trends, and regional differences in fibre crop availability. The data provides a broader understanding of Myanmar’s agricultural capacity and its contribution to natural fibre production in the Asian region.
The indicator excludes synthetic fibres, industrially produced fibres, processed textile materials, yarns, fabrics, and manufactured textile products. It also excludes recycled fibre materials, agricultural waste, and secondary fibre recovery activities. Processing activities after agricultural production, including spinning, weaving, and textile manufacturing, are outside the indicator scope.
By focusing exclusively on primary agricultural fibre production, this indicator enables evaluation of Myanmar’s fibre crop sector, production stability, agricultural development, and contribution to renewable fibre supply chains.
