The international financial crisis has promoted the great reshuffle of the world's cashmere industry, and the world's primary processing industry has been increasingly concentrated in China.

The number of wool bars imported from China has been decreasing year by year, and the number of wool strips to the international market has increased significantly.

The world's wool supply is still insufficient this year. With the acceleration of economic recovery in the world, the competition in the international wool market is becoming more and more intense.

In recent years, the Australian dollar has reached 1.1 against the US dollar and is hovering at a high level, and wool prices are also running high.
