After years in the city, joining the agricultural community was a shift. In September 2021, during a visit to a client in Australia, I witnessed the full food production process—from harvesting to packaging and delivery. This experience deepened my appreciation for farmers' resilience and the pivotal role of products like Baler Twine, Net Wrap, and Silage Wrap in supporting their success.

 Baler Twine Trends

The baler twine industry has experienced rapid changes, especially with increasing demand for eco-friendly materials. Baler twine remains crucial in farming, used to bale hay and straw for livestock feed. According to Digital Journal, “the global Agriculture Baler Twine market was valued at USD 258.52 million in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 289.31 million by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 1.89%.”

 Net Wrap Developments

Farmers relying on net wrap should note its advantages:

Time-saving: Compared to traditional twine, net wrap increases productivity by saving time during baling.
Strength and Durability: Net wrap offers enhanced protection, with greater tensile strength, tear resistance, and UV stability.
The net wrap market has expanded significantly, valued at USD 1.12 billion in 2021 and projected to reach USD 1.53 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.13% (Verified Market Research).

Recent Advances in Silage Wrap


Silage wrap preserves the quality of silage by creating an airtight seal, which protects from oxygen, moisture, and UV light. It’s now produced with HDPE or LDPE films, ensuring durability and flexibility. Thicker silage wrap offers better puncture resistance, available in widths between 500mm to 750mm, depending on bale size.
