The Domestic Wool Marketing System

Abstract

Report Summary: During the past 20 years, the domestic wool industry declined in almost every phase of production, marketing, and processing. The decline reflects, among other things, lack of information on improving the quality and preparation of wool clips--especially small ones--and on effective pricing. A survey in 1964-66 of producers, warehouse operators, local pool directors, and major wool processors showed that all segments of the industry had problems which had no easy solution. The survey information did not always provide objective guides to solving these problems, but alternative practices are suggested that would permit each segment to take advantage of new technology or combination of procedures in upgrading its operations. These practices are outlined in detail in the final section of the report; their use would help the wool industry to improve its marketing practices, reduce the total marketing bill, and deliver to processors the types of wool required.
