Excellent seasonal conditions push Australian wool production higher in 2016/17

摘要

The Australian Wool Production Forecasting Committee (AWPFC) has revised its forecast of shorn wool production for the 2016/17 season to 332 million kg greasy, a 2.2% increase on its final estimate for the 2015/16 season. It said that this reflects a 2.7% increase in average wool cut per head "because of excellent season conditions and an abundance of feed, which more than offsets the small decline expected in the number of sheep shorn."
