Fibre is extracted by a process known as decorations, where leaves are crushed and beaten by a rotating wheel set with blunt knives, so that only fibres remain, the leaves are transported to a central decortications plant, where water is used to wash away the waste parts of the leaf.

The fibre is then dried, brushed and baled for export Proper drying is important as fibre quality depends largely on moisture content. Artificial drying has been found to result in generally better grades of fibre than sun drying, but is not feasible in the developing countries where sisal is produced.
