International Year of Natural Fibres

The United Nations General Assembly declared 2009 as the International Year of Natural Fibres. The proposal for this international year came from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) at a joint meeting of the Intergovernmental Group on Hard Fibres and the Intergovernmental Group on Jute in 2004. It was endorsed by the FAO Conference in 2005.
