Advantages and Disadvantages of Traditional Abaca, Genetically Modified Abaca, and Cross Hybrid Abaca

Abaca (Musa Textilis Née), also known as Manila hemp, is a plant native to the Philippines, which expanded through different parts of Asia. It is a biodegradable and sustainable source of fiber known for its high quality. Due to viruses, poor government support, and lack of fundings, the abaca fiber...
