An international congress on natural fibres is to take place in Bahia, Brazil on September 9-11.

A number of researchers, students, producers and public managers will attend the event at the Pestana Hotel in Rio Vermelho, Salvador, to discuss the natural fibre supply chain.

This year is the International Year of Natural Fibres, as appointed by the United Nations, and the congress is designed to recognise this and to look at opportunities and challenges within the natural fibre industry.
