Allo (Himalayan nettle) fibre processing in Nepal
Long before any cannabis licence, Nepal's hills were already growing fibre worth processing — allo (Himalayan nettle), banana stem, and jute. We are building the decortication, cottonising, and spinning capacity to turn household fibre into wholesale-grade yarn, starting now, with no cannabis licence required.
Why start here
Allo has been hand-processed in Nepal's hills for generations — a wild-harvested nettle fibre already established as a Nepali export product. Banana stem and jute round out a multi-bast processing line: one plant, several legal fibre streams, no licensing gate.
The same decortication, cottonising, and spinning equipment that will eventually process licensed hemp fibre runs these crops today — so the facility earns from day one instead of waiting on a cultivation licence that does not yet exist for anyone.
Who this is for
Household growers and gatherers with existing allo, banana fibre, or jute supply looking for a committed buyer and fair aggregation terms; textile and homeware brands wanting a traceable, sustainably grown natural fibre with a genuine Himalayan story; and exporters of natural fibre products.
In development. Allo, banana, and jute are uncontrolled natural fibres — this line requires no cannabis cultivation licence and proceeds independently of licensed hemp cultivation.
Common questions
- Is allo fibre related to cannabis or hemp?
- No. Allo is Himalayan nettle (Girardinia diversifolia) — a completely different, uncontrolled plant, already a legal Nepali export product. We process it on the same equipment line we are building for licensed hemp fibre, but allo itself needs no cannabis licence.
- Do you buy allo, banana fibre, or jute directly from growers?
- Yes — we are forming aggregation and offtake agreements with household and community suppliers now, ahead of full plant capacity. Contact us with your volumes and location.
