Banana fiber is a natural fiber which has a wide range of uses in handicraft
product developments such as mat, rope and twins but only 10% of its
pseudo stem is being used for making products and remaining is waste or
used as fertilizer. As it has a property like weatherproof, UV protection,
moisture absorption, anti-oxidant and bio-degradable. It can be used to
make variety of products that help farmers economically and have wide
scope to create a wide market. Recent studies have indicated that banana
fiber possesses a lot of advantageous physical and properties which can
be used a very good raw material for the textile and packaging industry.
Introduction
Banana fabric is created using raw materials which are generally
discarded after a banana harvest. These raw materials usually come in the
form of fibers which are taken from the stems of each banana and
discarded from the trees. These excess tree stocks are moved and are then
cut and processed into fibers which can be weaved together into a solid
fabric base. Banana fabric is the finest banana fiber fabrics manufactures
in Pakistan which is 100% nature product for healthy living. It emphases
in providing the best quality standards and making eco-friendly product.
Our greatest concern is human resources; mainly skilled women, and
material resources present in Thatta, Sindh. Its basic focus is on using the
banana fiber that is wasted 40% and making eco-friendly products from
it. Our major focus is on making the fabrics by utilizing not too much
skilled labors of rural areas and using banana fiber which is wasted in our
country which was previously used as just animal feed or wasted but has
in it lots of hidden amazements and can help enrich our economy as well.

What makes Banana Fabrics different from simple Fabrics?
Brightness
 Water-repellent
 Breaking strength
 Hypoallergenic
 Stiffness
 The fibers from the banana stems throughout history have been used
to create banana textile for tablecloths, saris, kimonos and more.
Today, many designers and product manufacturers seek out banana
textile due to its resiliency, softness and sustainability. Banana
fabrics are especially great for raincoats and outerwear.
 We propose to our clients a silky blended fabric made with 75% of
banana and 25% of lotus in order to provide a fabric more
resistant, brighter and water repellent.
 Price
 Our price should be comparatively low than the competitors.
 Place
 We shall distribute our fabrics to brokers who will then place the
fabrics at outlets where such products of home care are sold. A
showroom shall also be designed along with the factory; where the
fabrics are to be processed and stitched,.

Promotions
We will promote our products through
 Local cable media
 FM radio
 Print Media
 Billboards
 Campaigns
 Demos
 Internet and interactive media
 Publicity

focusing to serve the Sindh side basically Thatta, Hyderabad and
Mirpur where the banana production is in plenty and then we will

comprising of approx. 37 million.
Why to make banana Fiber Fabric?

Conclusion
• The major objective of this business is not only to please the
customers with their needs of being supplied with quality fabrics but
another purpose of projecting such a plan is to launching a brand
from waste of banana and we selected Thatta, Sindh for our business
because Thatta, is famous for its banana productions and many poor
people’s lives there.
• Just as Multan is famous for its mango production, Faisalabad for
its textile industry, Thatta is more known for the best quality banana
production being harvested here and the most fertile lands having
the four-season blessing; but still having no prominent name in the
development
