North American Linen Association report outlines expanding flax-for-linen production and manufacturing capacity in North America. It was created to provide insight into the industry and support NALA’s mission of revitalizing North American flax fiber and linen production. • To scale flax fiber production and processing in North America, the necessary infrastructure needs to be rebuilt for each stage, from field to manufacturing. • There is no framework at the federal or state level to support fiber flax production, marketing, or infrastructure development. These findings reflect an urgent opportunity for North America to lead the renaissance of fiber flax production.
