Pineapple fibre handicrafts a viable business


Sweet profits: Azra realised that she could use pineapple leaf fibres to make paper-based items 10 years ago after doing research on the material.

BATU PAHAT: While many just throw away pineapple leaves, a 38-year-old entrepreneur has found a way to turn them into custom-made biodegradable works of art and souvenirs that she sells at her shop here.

Azra Hussin said she developed the skill of turning pineapple leaves into various products about 10 years ago through her own research.
