00:05Workers first cut mature leaves and feed them into a special scraping machine.
00:09The machine removes the green pulp, juice and outer layer, revealing long white sisal fibers underneath.
00:15After cleaning and drying, these fibers are packed and sold to factories for making ropes, fishing nets, carpets and other
00:21products.
00:22The best part? Agave can survive in hot, dry areas where many crops fail, giving farmers a reliable source of
00:28income.
