Abstract

Excerpts from the report: Wool manufacturers and topmakers have been buying and processing more imported apparel wools than domestic wools. Cooperatives and other domestic handlers wanted to know why wool produced in this country hasn't been competing as successfully as it might with foreign wool. Differences in prices between domestic and foreign wool cannot be fully explained on the basis of superior quality or better preparation of imported wools. Thus, other factors must be involved. The main objective of the study discussed in this publication was to help find answers to these and other problems by obtaining suggestions and opinions from wool manufacturers and topmakers that might be used in improving domestic production and marketing methods. To get some ideas of improvements that could be made, Farmer Cooperative Service interviewed 29 topmakers and wool manufacturers -- knowing that they were in an excellent position to compare and evaluate domestic and foreign wools and the different wool preparation and marketing systems used in the world.
