Abstract

In the Egyptian agricultural context, the recent situation indicates that there decreasing tendency of the flax plantation intensity in the last decade. The cultivated area decreased from about 31.000 feddan in the year 2003 to about 3.500 feddan in the year 2013. However, this activity is still relevant in the Egyptian agricultural panorama. The flax plantation is mainly processed in the middle of Nile Delat. Village Shobra Melles belonged to El Ghrbia Governorate is considered the major cultivated area of flax. It cultivates about 75% from the flax production in Egypt. The particleboard industry in Tanta Flax and Oil Company don’t become in immune to this reality. The aim of this work is to find alternative and sustainable row materials for flax woody pulp (Saas El Ketan).
