Ramie is a highly versatile, white, lustrous and eco-friendly fibre with excellent properties1. In India, the cultivation as well as production of ramie is increasing because of its excellent strength, enhanced wet strength, lustre and microbial resistivity. At present there is no grading system in India. In view of the prospects of increased production and utilization of the fibre, a grading system for the decorticated fibres has been developed on the basis of fibre qualities. It is quite obvious that different varieties would differ in their properties and different application areas would demand different quality fibre. For this the fibre should be graded properly for utilization of the fibre in a better way. The fibres have been graded in to four grades viz. excellent, good, Average, Poor on a 100 point score card basis. The scores have been assigned on relative importance and weightage of the six fibre properties, viz. fibre length, strength, fineness, softness, colour and defects. The grading system will help the farmers, industry and other stakeholders in marketing and specific utilization of the fibre in diversified areas
