  Abaca Fibre
The abaca plant, which resembles in appearance the banana and plantain, to which it is closely related, is a perennial growing from short rootstocks.
The quality or grade of abaca fibre is determined by the part of the stalk from which the fibre is obtained, by the amount of serration of the stripping knives and the degree of tension holding the knife against the block, and by prompt and careful drying of the fibre.
In 1925 a shipment of propagating material of the superior varieties of abaca was brought from the Philippine Islands to the republic of Panama by the United States department of agriculture.
