Australian Wool Industry

INTRODUCTION Australia is the world's largest producer of wool and has existed for decades. Carefully raised quality wool will definitely help to meet the high demand of the wool industry. The majority of Australian wool is exported to other countries such as China, Italy, Taiwan, Republic of Korea, France. However, Australian wool production has declined in the past decade, and demand is decreasing as other, more manageable synthetic fibers and materials are introduced to the market.

The best merino wool in Australia and New Zealand is called 1 PP and is the industry standard of merino wool of 16.9 microns or less. This style represents the highest level of fineness, letters, colors, and styles, according to the original requirements of British Wool applied by the Australian Wool Exchange (AWEX) Council, based on various parameters. It is only a few dozen of the millions of packages auctioned each year that can be classified and classified as 1PP. In the United States, three wool classifications are listed in 1939 wool product labeling law. "Wool" refers to recycled "virgin wool" including "specialty fibers called wool or wool or wool or cashmere wool" (camels, alpacas, llamas and vikunas and never obtained from woven or felt wool products) And "New Wool" are also used to refer to this type of wool that has never been used.

In July, the annual Australian wool show was held in Bendigo, Victoria. This is the world's largest wool show, goat and alpaca, wool competition and display, wool competition, sheepdog trial, shear and wool treatment. The world's largest objective wool competition measurement is the Australian Wool Competition to be held in Bendigo every year. In 2008, there were 475 entries from the state of Australia, the 1st and 2nd prize being awarded to the Northern Highland region of New South Wales.

Wool is not 5% of the world's textile industry. Due to the influence of Merino, most of our household varieties produce 4 to 5 times more wool than sheep that was brought to the United States originally. Because the production of lamb is very important in this country, our average clean fiber production is about 2 pounds lower than the average in Australia. There is no extra wool in America. All domestic wool can be used for various products. However, due to defects, contamination and other quality problems, its value is lower than some imported wool. The mills rely on imported wool to maintain operation (about 76%). For modern methods and equipment, the factory needs high quality fiber to maximize production
