WOLMARKVERSLAG / WOOL MARKET REPORT CV18_2020

Markanalise

Die 18de wolveiling van die 2019/20 seisoen het hierdie week plaasgevind en die Cape Wools aanwyser het met 1.6% en 278 punte hoër verhandel en teen 'n skoonprys van R177.41/kg gesluit. Die Australiese EMI het met 1.9% gestyg. Die Rand het hierdie week 0.8% swakker verhandel teen die VSA Doller en 0.6% swakker teen die Euro, ooreenstemmend dieselfde tyd van die vorige veiling. Goeie kwaliteit Merino vagwol en veral die medium tot sterker tipes, het goed presteer en gesorg vir gesonde mededinging onder kopers, ten spyte van die Koronavirusuitbraak en die verlengde Chinese nuwejaarsvieringe. Daar was egter ‘n beperkte hoeveelheid korter tipes aangebied. Die grootste styging hierdie week van 4.2%, was in die 22 mikron segment. Standard Wool het hierdie week die grootste hoeveelheid bale gekoop, gevolg deur Modiano, Lempriere SA en Stucken.

Daar is in totaal 6579 bale aangebied, waarvan 94% verkoop is. Op die OVK veiling is 1386 bale aangebied waarvan 95.4% verkoop is. Die hoogste prys op die OVK veiling van R140.20/kg is behaal vir ‘n 4 baal lot BMY van 17.8 mikron, uit die skeersel van Joubert Trust van Bethulie. Die koper was Standard Wool. Baie geluk met die prestasie!

VOORUITSIGTE

Hierdie week het die SA wolmark effens verbeter, in vergelyking met die vorige veiling. Die swakker Rand het bygedra tot die styging in die mark en die positiewe Australiese mark nagevolg. Die volume wol ontvang in die makelaars se store hierdie week, is 40% laer as die ooreenstemmende week van die vorige seisoen, maar akkumulatief 1.4% hoër. Hoewel dit nog krities droog is in heelwat produksiegebiede, is berigte van goeie reëns wel ontvang, wat gevolglik welkome verligting en goeie nuus is vir produsente. OVK nooi produsente uit om ons te skakel indien enige voorskotte op vesel gelewer, asook finansiering, verlang word. Vind ook meer uit oor die nuwe kommissiestruktuur van OVK. Skakel gerus met ons veselkantoor in Port Elizabeth of met u Tegniese Veldbeampte vir meer inligting. Besoek ook gerus die OVK webtuiste vir meer besonderhede. Ons beklemtoon dat OVK verbind is daartoe om sy produsente by te staan na die beste van ons vermoë in goeie, sowel as moeilike tye.

Die bewuswording van standaarde in bykans alle industrieë wêreldwyd, word ‘n al groter realiteit en dus ook in die veselindustrie. Volhoubaarheid en naspeurbaarheid is gonswoorde op almal se lippe en produsente sal ernstige oorweging moet skenk aan hierdie neiging, ten einde internasionale mededinging in die toekoms te verseker. OVK is inderdaad gerat om u by te staan in die sertifisering van RWS en ook eersdaags RMS in die sybokhaar industrie. Te midde van die Koronavirusuitbraak in China, reageer wêreldmarkte oor die algemeen redelik senuweeagtig, maar tot op hede is die wolmark nog stabiel, soos bewys is in die huidige markbeweging van die afgelope week.

Produsente moet steeds sorg aan die dag lê om te verseker dat bio-sekuriteit ten alle tye prioriteit geniet, ten einde kuddes te beskerm. Siektes soos slenkdalkoors, bloutong, karooverlamming, bek-en klouseer, ens., moet met erns bejeën word en die nodige voorsorg moet getref word om hierdie siektes te bekamp, om gevolglike ekonomiese verliese so ver moontlik uit te skakel. Deur die nodige inentings en strategiese dippings te doen, kan genoemde toestande suksesvol bestuur word. U naaste OVK handelstak sal in u enstof-en dipbehoeftes voorsien. Besoek ons gerus.

Die volgende wolveiling is geskeduleer vir 13 Februarie 2020 waar sowat 4245 bale aangebied sal word. Hierdie verslag deur Heinrich Victor, Bemarkingsbestuurder Vesel – OVK

FORECAST

This week saw the SA wool market trading higher, compared to the previous auction. This weaker Rand contributed to the increase in the market and followed the positive Australian market. The volumes of wool received in the stores of the brokers this week, are 40% lower, compared to the same week of the previous season, but accumulatively 1.4% higher. Although it is still critical dry in a lot of production areas, reports of good rains were received, which resulted in welcome relief and good news for producers. OVK wants to invite our producers to contact us if any advances on fibre delivered, or financing is needed. Also learn more about OVK’s new commission structure. Please call our fibre office in Port Elizabeth or your Technical Field Officer for more information. The OVK website can also be visited for more details. We emphasize that OVK is committed to assist our producers to the best of our ability in good  as well as difficult times.

Awareness of standards in almost all industries world-wide, is becoming a more significant reality and therefore also in the fibre industry. Sustainability and traceability are buzzwords on everyone’s lips and producers will have to give consideration to this trend, in order to ensure international competition in future. OVK is indeed geared to assist you in the certification of RWS and also soon RMS, in the mohair industry. Amid the Corona virus outbreak in China, global market are reacting quite nervously, but up until now, the wool market is still stable, as proofed in the current market movement of this week.

Care is required from producers to ensure that bio-security have to enjoy priority in order to protect flocks at all times. Diseases such as Rift Valley Fever, Blue Tongue, Karoo Paralysis, Foot and Mouth disease, etc., have to be taken seriously and the necessary precautions have to be taken to prevent these diseases, in order to avoid resulting economic losses. By performing the necessary vaccinations and strategic dipping, the mentioned conditions can be managed successfully. Your nearest OVK trade branch will provide in your vaccine and dipping needs. Please visit us.

The next wool auction is scheduled for 13 February 2020 where 4245 bales will be on offer. This report by Heinrich Victor, Marketing Manager Fibre – OVK.
