Title	Title - Ramie
Notes	Notes - Ramie, a sturdy plant cultivated for its fiber, grows best in Mindanao. In 1950, as an alternative to the Philippines' long-time dependence on textile importation, the industrialist Vicente Araneta spearheaded a program for the development and promotion of ramie. By 1954, there were flourishing ramie plantations in Cotabato, and a steady Japanese market.
