Henequen, however, is no longer under widespread cultivation.

His father grew the hemp plant, called henequen, and sold it first to private middlemen.

But cheaper substitutes displaced henequen from the world fibre market.

Henequen, sugar, tobacco, maize, and fruit are grown commercially in the surrounding area.

It was once Mexico's richest state, thanks to its plantations of henequen - sisal hemp.

Only under Mr Salinas has the state finally found the courage to withdraw from henequen.

Sisal is the main leaf fibre used; others are: abacá and henequen.

Most of the farms in Tecoh are used to grow henequen, sugar, corn, and tropical fruit.

Land that had formerly grown sugar was now converted to growing henequen, and employed the Korean farmers as cutters.

The town's economy is based on henequen, coffee, cattle, timber processing, tanning, distilling and some mining.

The fibers produced by henequen could be made into rope and twine, indispensable for sea-faring and international trade.

The reality of early henequen workers are seen in El henequen.

Henequen (An agave, useful fiber, but not as high quality as sisal)

In Peñamiller henequen is used.

Among the agricultural products that stand out are the basic grains, sugar cane, henequen, grass, orchard plants, bananas, cocoa, and coffee.

But, thanks to the arrival of man-made polymers, the hacienda's livelihood manufacturing henequen fibre came to an abrupt end.

Natural fibres used for making twine include cotton, sisal, jute, hemp, henequen, and coir.

Mexico produces two crops not generally produced elsewhere, henequen used to produce a strong fiber and maguey, both in the agave family.

This core may consist of steel, but also of natural fibres such as sisal, manila, henequen, jute, or hemp.

"The henequen," Mr. González said, "was an ecological disaster for Yucatán."

Henequen (Agave fourcroydes Lem.)

They became sugarcane and hemp (henequen) cutters, toiling from sun-up till sundown in the dry and harsh tropical sun.

Hacienda Tankuché was dedicated to raising dyewood (palo de tinte) but changed later to henequen.

Mayan claims to ancestral lands were largely ignored and huge tobacco, sugar-cane and henequen (agave rope fiber) plantations were set up.

Henequen (애니깽 - Enikkeng) is a 1996 South Korean film directed by Kim Ho-sun.

It is classified as a hard fiber, along with coir, henequin and sisal.

Alternative spellings are Henequin and Heniquen.

The area around Maní is largely devoted to agriculture, principly henequin, maize, cattle, and fruit.

Henequen (Agave fourcroydes Lem.)

Their slings were likely made from maguey fiber either a type of ixtle from one of the agave type maguey plants such as henequen (Agave fourcroydes).

Sisals are sterile hybrids of uncertain origin; although shipped from the port of Sisal in Yucatán (thus the name), they do not actually grow in Yucatán, the plantations there cultivate henequen (Agave fourcroydes) instead.
