British Wool Producers Benefit From Rising Auction Prices

This year Britain Sheep producers The wool check, which is "significantly improved", will be received from the British wool marketing Bureau (BWMB), reflecting the high demand for wool, leading to a price rise to the highest level in nearly 10 years.

　　 BWMB Ian Hartley, chief executive, said that the increase in auction prices over the past 12 months will benefit our wool producers. This reflects the improvement in demand for wool in the United Kingdom, while the output of wool has declined and output in 2009 has dropped to 28 million 600 thousand kilograms, compared with 31 million 200 thousand kilograms in 2009. In 2000, the sheared production was 45 million 800 thousand kg, indicating that the output in the last 10 years decreased significantly.

He said, 2009 wool The average price of the sheared wool is 48 pounds per kilogram, including the average payment of 36 pounds per kilogram to the producer.

According to the recent auction price at BWMB headquarters in Bradford, there are indications that the price will increase considerably next year, and sheep farmers will benefit greatly in 2011.

But Mr. Hartley said: "although we believe that the new price and the very high price will remain unchanged in 2010, the high price is expected to remain unchanged for the foreseeable future. BWMB will maintain the prepayment of sheep farmers at about the same level in 2010. History tells us that we will not be able to control the sudden crisis, and that sudden crises may lead to price fluctuations."

Supplement:

In order to display the quality wool of Wu Xin banner during the second national wool forum, Nanjing wool market, one of the contractors of the second national wool forum, invited representatives of wool textile enterprises such as Jiangsu Aolong group and Zhejiang red sun Wool Textile Co., Ltd. to participate in the meeting. At the same time, in order to prepare for this auction, Inner Mongolia's Wu Shen banner has poured a lot of effort into sorting, sorting, packing, purchasing and circulation of wool.

In July 3rd, the representatives of the second national wool forum came to the wool storage and transportation center of Wu Xin Qi. More than 700 tons of wool are neatly coded in the warehouse. These wool have been scientifically checked and neatly packed. Each batch marks the cleanliness, length and dispersion of wool. The representatives of the enterprises generally expressed satisfaction with the dispersion of fine wool in Wu Shen banner, and considered that the discretization of fine wool in Wu Xin Qi was better than that in Australian wool.

It looks as if everything is perfect. However, a business representative who was about to take part in the auction of Mao made a note in his notebook: "the quality of the bag is better than that of the past, but it may still produce foreign fibers in the course of transportation."

Progress and gap

Inner Mongolia Wu Xin Qi attaches great importance to the development of fine wool sheep industry. In the industrial planning of "sheep (fine wool sheep), coal (coal), earth (rare earth) and gas (natural gas)", "sheep" has been placed first.

In order to realize the sustainable development of the fine wool industry, the policy of grazing was implemented in Wu Xin Qi. April 1st ~7 1 every year is pasture pastoral area.

In July 2nd, when the representatives of the second national Mao forum entered the Wu Shen banner, they were fascinated by the current scenery. The vast expanse of prairie, looking at it, is covered with green grassland and is full of vitality.

Wang Qiang, Chinese project manager of the Australian wool Inspection Bureau, told reporters that even in Australia, not every prairie can be as plump as the grassland of Wu Xin Qi.

In the modern grassland animal husbandry demonstration house of the Wu Shen banner, the herdsmen jointly established breeding centers, feed processing plants and farms. Wu Xin Qi fine wool sheep breeding farm uses scientific experimental methods and advanced breeding methods to breed fine and high-yield fine wool sheep.

As an important production area of the state Mao, the speed of the development of the "Wu Xin banner" is amazing. A visitor said that he had visited Wu Xin banner 10 years ago. The pasture coverage rate was far less than that of today, and the production of fine wool sheep is also very common.

Seeing progress, we should also see the gap. Now, under the general market conditions, the price of 1 tons of national wool is at least 1000 yuan lower than that of Australian wool. Where are the reasons for these differences?

Wang Qiang describes the scientific process of Australian fine wool sheep's scientific feeding and grading, sorting, packing and sampling, and then we can see the causes of the price gap.

During the seed selection period, Australia follows the principle of "the same kind of sheep, the same sex and the same age" to minimize the difference of wool fiber. In the process of shearing management, Australia requires unified shearing yard, uniform packaging materials, training for shearing hand, wool grading staff must be qualified, and a shepherd's quality declaration system has been established. In the detection stage, the advanced sampling and testing instruments are used for sampling inspection of the packaged wool.

Production of foreign fibers

After packaging, the national wool went through long distance transportation to the wool textile enterprises. In transportation, poor quality packing bags are easily damaged, and their fibers are mixed into wool raw materials, causing difficulties for the production of enterprises.

The shepherd's shorting bags are more likely to produce foreign fibers. In order to save costs, many herdsmen cut the wool into old chemical fertilizer bags and sold them to wool traders. These old fiber bags are easy to mix into wool.

Because of their scattered feeding, herdsmen usually mark their own sheep. In the early days, when the herdsmen did not realize that the mark would cause problems to the later production, they used paints or bitumen and other unmanageable materials to mark their flocks.

Businesses are having a headache. Asphalt, paint and so on in industrial production process is difficult to effectively remove, and finally can only make the national wool into low value-added products with low added value.

In the course of the second national Mao forum, many business representatives told the herdsmen and pastoral governments the dangers of foreign fibers, hoping that they could know the trouble caused by foreign fiber production. Reduce the production of foreign fiber, so as to enhance the reputation of national wool and further increase the price of national wool.

Zhu Zhongxian, general manager of Jiangsu Aolong group, took out a fine wool packaging bag in his speech. According to introducing, this is the packaging bag that Australia is using at present, the manufacturers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces can produce. "The price is higher than that of the traditional packaging bags used by the state Mao, but because of the use of such bags, the national wool has reduced the foreign fiber and the price has also been raised. The quality of the bags directly affects the price of wool. " Zhu Zhongxian said.
