The largest flax producing area in the world

The largest flax producing area in the world is Colombia.

In the world, flax production in Europe and China has a very high status. Among them, Belgium, the Netherlands and France are the largest flax producers in Europe. Among these three countries, Belgium has an absolute advantage in flax production and is regarded as one of the largest flax producing areas in the world. At the same time, France and the Netherlands are also very developed flax producing countries.

In France, the main producing area of flax is Normandy in the northwest, which is adjacent to the maritime climate and unique soil environment, making French flax fiber very distinctive. In the Netherlands, flax production is widely distributed near villages and rivers, and the planting scale is huge. Flax is suitable for mild, cool and humid climate. Fiber flax requires that the temperature change during the growth period is not violent and the temperature difference between day and night is small.

Cultivation techniques of flax

There is a lot of rainfall from emergence to flowering, which is evenly distributed and the sunshine is weak. From flowering to maturity, less rain and sufficient sunshine are beneficial to the vegetative growth and fiber development of hemp stalk. During the growing period, flax needs strong light to facilitate branching, increase capsules, promote early maturity and increase seed yield. Choose plain land with moist, fat, good drainage and clean surface, and choose two depressions when the drought is serious.

However, in order to be able to drain water, it is necessary to choose plots close to water sources, which can be irrigated or irrigated by drilling wells. Loess hills and slopes should not be chosen. In areas with particularly fertile soil, flax should be planted in plots with the same fertility. The seeds of flax are very small, and the ability to be unearthed is also very poor, which requires good soil preparation quality.
