The main flax-producing region in the world, northern France, from Calvados to Nord Pas-de-Calais, is a leader in the global flax fiber sector. The Terre de Lin cooperative operates in Haute-Normandie, a unique land that alone accounts for 50% of quality textile flax production in the world. The cooperative itself is responsible for 15% of the international flax production and is a major stakeholder upstream in the textile flax industry.
