Kenaf industry in USA

However, even with the lack of finding, many researchers have done several intensive research with Kenaf. About 10,000 acres of Kenaf are grown in the year 2000 in various areas in USA. Among companies that are actively using Kenaf as their raw materials are KP Products Inc. doing business as Vision Paper, Kafus Industries, Cameco Industries Inc. Kenaf International, ANAKL, DBM Farms, and the Delta Fiber operation.
