Textile industry - Import export

SAGO is extracted from the core of palm stems. In markets, sago is sold in the form of pearls that can be eaten by making them into a pudding. Sago can sometimes be confused with tapioca pearls, and it has been seen that tapioca pearls are sometimes deliberately sold as sago because sago is a much more expensive to extract and prepare than tapioca. However, to the keen eye, the differences between the two are obvious. Sago pearls are uniform in shape and size, quite brittle, and their cooking time is much shorter. Apart from being edible, sago also has multiple other uses: It is sometimes used in the textile industry, after treatment with sago the fabric is much easier to machine. This process is known as sizing. Sago is also used as a thickener in cooking and in the biomedical field due to its vicious texture. Sago consists almost entirely of carbohydrates and is completely devoid of minerals or nutrients
