Kenaf: The High-Yield Non-Wood Fibre Ideal for African Paper Manufacturing
Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus) is attracting global attention as a sustainable alternative to wood pulp, and for good reason: it matures in just 150 days, yields 6–12 tonnes of dry fibre per hectare (versus 2–4 tonnes for eucalyptus in the same period), requires minimal agrochemical inputs, and sequesters significantly more CO₂ per hectare than equivalent forest plantation. For paper manufacturers in Nigeria, Ghana, and East Africa — where wood supply is constrained and agro-land is abundant — kenaf represents a transformative raw material opportunity.
Kenaf stems contain two distinct fibre fractions: bast fibres (the outer bark, 35% of stem weight) with long, fine fibres comparable to jute — ideal for strength in kraft paper and packaging; and core fibres (the inner woody section, 65% of stem weight) with shorter fibres similar to hardwood — suitable for printing, writing, and tissue paper grades. Rajshree's kenaf pulp systems are designed to process both fractions together or separately, giving operators flexibility to target specific paper grades.
Unlike wood chips, kenaf requires no debarking or chipping — the stems are simply cut and fed to a fibre preparation system. This simplification of the raw material preparation stage reduces capital cost by 15–20% compared to an equivalent wood-based pulp mill — a significant advantage for investors entering kenaf-based paper manufacturing for the first time.
Nigeria's warm humid climate in the South-South and Middle Belt zones is ideal for kenaf cultivation. Rajshree works with Nigerian project developers to assess kenaf agronomics, sourcing radius, and transport logistics before mill sizing — ensuring a secure, cost-stable fibre supply from local farming communities.
