The Henequen Boom
Unfortunately, when the henequen bubble burst in the 1930s with the advent of synthetic fibers, the peninsula fell into an economic decline from which there seemed to be little hope of respite.
However, in the late 19th century, the hacienda or plantation owners found a crop that grew successfully and was much in demand around the world — the henequen plant.
Processed henequen soon became known around the world as sisal.
The fibers produced by henequen could be made into rope and twine, indispensable for sea-faring and international trade.
