Wool production steady despite dry conditions
21 Mar 2005
Australian shorn wool production for the next season is expected to remain steady at 475 million kilograms, according to the production forecasting committee of Australian Wool Innovation. The revised estimate for 2004/05 production is for 477 million kilos. AWI said if the dry seasonal conditions, particularly in NSW, were replaced by a return to a normal autumn period, then shorn wool production could be higher than in 2005/06. The first forecast for 2005/06 season production is based on unchanged production in NSW, Victoria and South Australia but marginally lower production in Western Australia and Tasmania, and a drop in Queensland production on the back of poorer seasonal conditions.
