VOORUITSIGTE

Hierdie week het die SA wolmark verswak, in vergelyking met die vorige veiling. Die verswakking van die Rand het die plaaslike mark effens beskerm teen ‘n groter daling. Die hoofsaaklike rede egter in die daling, blyk steeds die onsekerheid in die algemeen in wêreldmarkte te wees, as gevolg van die Koronavirus uitbraak wat nou as wêreldwye pandemie verklaar is. Die volume wol ontvang in die makelaars se store hierdie week, is in totaal 7.9% hoër as die ooreenstemmende week van die vorige seisoen.

Indien voorskotte op vesel gelewer, asook produksielenings verlang mag word, nooi OVK produsente steeds uit om gerus ons veselkantoor in Port Elizabeth te skakel, of u Tegniese Veldbeampte vir meer inligting. Vind ook meer uit oor die opwindende nuwe kommissiestruktuur van OVK. Besoek gerus die OVK webtuiste vir meer besonderhede.

Volhoubaarheid en naspeurbaarheid is baie belangrike aspekte waaraan produsente ernstige oorweging sal moet skenk, ten einde internasionale mededinging in die toekoms te verseker. Verbruikers vra nie net meer nie, maar vereis dat die verskaffing van vesel vry is van twyfelagtige praktyke. Dit word ook al meer weerspieël in die vraag na sodanige wol op die weeklikse wolveilings. OVK is inderdaad gerat om u by te staan in die voldoening aan standaarde en dus, die sertifisering van RWS (Responsible Wool Standards) en ook eersdaags RMS (Responsible Mohair Standards).

Die volgende wolveiling is geskeduleer vir 20 Maart 2020 waar sowat 10,304 bale aangebied sal word. Hierdie verslag deur Heinrich Victor, Bemarkingsbestuurder Vesel – OVK

FORECAST

This week the SA wool market decreased, compared to the previous auction. The decrease of the Rand protected the local market somewhat against a larger decrease.  The main reason behind the decrease though, is the uncertainty in global markets in general, due to the Corona virus outbreak which is now declared a global pandemic. The volumes of wool received in the stores of the brokers this week, are accumulatively 7.9% higher compared to the same week of the previous season, which is positive news. If any advances on fibre delivered, or production financing is needed, OVK invites producers to contact our fibre office in Port Elizabeth or your Technical Field Officer for more information.

Sustainability and traceability are very important aspects which producers will have to give serious consideration to, in order to ensure international competition in future. Consumers don’t just ask anymore, but demand that supply of wool must be free of doubtful practices. That is becoming more evident and is reflected in the demand for such wool on the weekly wool auctions. OVK is indeed geared to assist you in the certification of RWS (Responsible Wool Standards) and also soon RMS (Responsible Mohair Standards), in the mohair industry.

The next wool auction is scheduled for 20 March 2020 where 10,304 bales will be on offer. This report by Heinrich Victor, Marketing Manager Fibre – OVK.
