In Libya, the metal products industry faces severe challenges due to high salinity in coastal regions like Tripoli and extreme thermal expansion in the Sahara. The demand for galvanized hexagonal wire netting has surged as traditional untreated wires fail rapidly under intense UV exposure and salty air.
The agricultural sector, particularly poultry farming in the hinterlands, relies heavily on secure enclosures. However, the local market has long suffered from a lack of specialized plastic poultry mesh, often relying on low-grade imports that crack under the Mediterranean sun.
Currently, there is a strategic shift toward hybrid materials. The integration of plastic coated chicken wire is becoming the standard for Libyan farmers seeking to combine the structural strength of steel with the chemical resistance of polymers to extend the lifecycle of their investments.
