Fiber is in the bark (phloem), the skin of the stem. The core of the stem (xylem) is not used for fiber production as far as I know. It is used as the base of the thatched roof in some areas in Japan (not in the area where I learned ramie fiber extraction process).
@@umitomk880 oh they were definitely whacking the inside of the plant too, not just the bark...hence the confusion. Seems they can use the whole plant.
Какой спокойный труд, без спешки и нервов 🙏🏼

The previous ramie video i watched, looked like they used the stem of the plant and this the bark, can you use bark and stock?
