South African Wool Industry Overview
The South African Wool Industry provides a high-quality, environmentally-sound product which meets the needs of the textile industry. On-farm classing and clip preparation for greasy wool is of a high standard and is considered one of the many tangible assets of the industry. South African wool has, over the years, earned a reputation for uniformity, softness to the touch and other quality features.
First-stage processing in South Africa is modern and technologically sophisticated and provides the wool spinning industry with quality input materials to meet the most stringent requirements of the downstream textile processing sector.
