Agro-textiles are a major segment of technical textiles and, according to the project report, contribute more than 21% of the technical textile sector in India. Agro-technical textiles encompass products used across agriculture, horticulture, including floriculture, fisheries, and forestry. Their applications cover activities associated with the growing and harvesting of crops and the management of animals and aquatic resources.
The sector includes a diverse range of products such as ropes, shade fabrics, mulch mats, woven and non-woven crop covers, bird protection nets, fishing nets, and other specialized textile solutions. These products are designed to support agricultural and allied activities by improving productivity, protecting crops and resources, and reducing dependence on chemicals. The project focuses particularly on the manufacture and application of fishnets and related products, including nets and twine made from synthetic materials such as HDPE. The report also addresses applications in crop production, horticulture and floriculture, animal husbandry, fishing and aquaculture, together with manufacturing processes, plant and machinery, quality testing, utilities, environmental management, plant layout, project implementation, and financial considerations.

Agro-textiles are used to support agricultural, horticultural, forestry, fisheries, and animal-husbandry activities. They include products such as shade fabrics, mulch mats, crop covers, bird protection nets, ropes, fishing nets, and aquaculture nets. These products can protect crops and resources from environmental stresses while supporting improved productivity. Their selection depends on the application, required strength, mesh characteristics, durability, exposure conditions, and the type of agricultural or allied activity in which they will be used.
Synthetic fibers are commonly used to manufacture modern fishing nets and twine, while natural fibers have become less common. The report specifically covers HDPE granules and master batches as raw materials. HDPE can be processed through extrusion, spinning, cooling and stretching to produce single yarn, followed by plying, twining, winding, and netting. The appropriate raw material and processing conditions depend on the required strength, flexibility, mesh size, durability, and end-use characteristics of the finished fishing net.
The HDPE fishnet and twine manufacturing process generally begins with procurement of HDPE granules, followed by melting, spinning, cooling and stretching to form single yarn. The yarn can then undergo plying, twining, and winding before the netting operation. Subsequent stages may include length or depth stretching, quality checking, bundling, pressing, packing, and dispatch. For finished fishing nets, additional operations can include winding, doubling and twisting, sectional warping, knitting, loop formation, mending, checking, cutting, labeling, and marketing.
Knotted and knotless fishing nets differ primarily in the way their mesh structure is formed and joined. Knotted nets use knots to secure the netting intersections, while knotless nets form interconnected loops without conventional knots. The choice affects characteristics such as construction, handling, surface profile, strength, and suitability for particular fishing applications. The report discusses both manufacturing routes and also identifies common knot types used in netting, including the use of the double knot primarily in gill netting.
Mesh size is important because it influences the suitability and operating characteristics of a fishing net for a particular application. The report addresses methods for specifying mesh size along with depth, length, selvage, mesh gauges, measuring force, and testing procedures. Proper measurement helps maintain consistency during production and quality control. The report also specifies measurement of a minimum of 20 consecutive meshes as part of the testing procedure, supporting systematic evaluation of the finished netting.
HDPE fishing net production requires machinery appropriate to extrusion, yarn formation, twisting, winding, netting, and finishing operations. The report covers a 75MM monofilament extrusion plant for HDPE and identifies equipment such as an extruder, reduction gear box, and hopper loader. Other operations may require equipment for cone or cheese winding, doubling and twisting, sectional warping, knitting, mending, cutting, pressing, and packing. The exact machinery configuration depends on the selected product range and manufacturing process.
Plant location should be selected by evaluating raw-material supply, market access, power and fuel availability, water supply, climate, transportation, waste disposal, labor, regulatory requirements, taxes, site characteristics, community factors, and flood and fire control. A suitable location can improve supply-chain efficiency and support reliable plant operations. The report also identifies specific considerations related to plant layout and multipurpose service roads, indicating that location planning should be coordinated with infrastructure, logistics, environmental management, and operational requirements.
