I'm not familiar with the plants you mention, but in general, once the
non-fibrous material has been taken away by retting or by chemical
processes there ain't much left.

Unless there was a lot of non-fibrous material there to begin with.  So,
with hemp, flax, straw, there is a lot of chaff/hurd material to work with.
