A campaign attacks Yucatan’s sisal cooperative regulating the market. The piece argues sisal from Yucatan remains the cheapest hard fibre, bargains a favorable price for American farmers, and attributes high twine costs to global supply and demand, not the cooperative.
The document outlines how two middlemen controlled Yucatan’s sisal market, fixing prices and extracting millions. Since the Comision Reguladora, sisal has traded near parity with Manila hemp, with sisal often cheaper. The piece notes a contrast with American crop gains in 1916 and emphasizes ongoing competition between sisal and Manila hemp.
