VOORUITSIGTE

Die kombinasie van die Australiese wolmark wat styg en die Rand wat verswak teenoor die vernaamste geldeenhede, het die verbetering in die Suid-Afrikaanse wolmark veroorsaak. Alles in ag genome, het die SA wolmark egter beter vertoon as die Australiese mark. Dit toon 'n positiewe vooruitsig vir die nabye toekoms. Wol ontvang in die makelaars se store hierdie week, is 2.9% laer vergeleke die ooreenstemmende tyd van die vorige seisoen.

Volhoubaar gesertifiseerde (RWS), goeie kwaliteit Merinowol, het weereens goeie aandag geniet op die veiling en gesorg vir gesonde kompetisie tussen kopers. Sertifisering is 'n neiging wat gekom het om te bly en produsente kan gerus kennis neem daarvan. Skakel gerus met OVK om u by te staan in die sertifiseringsproses. Produsente moet kennis neem dat die laaste wolinweegdatum van die seisoen op 12 Mei sal wees. Dit is vir katalogus CA34. Die volgende wolveiling is geskeduleer vir 5 Mei 2021, waar sowat 4 672 bale aangebied sal word.

FORECAST

A combination of the strengthening in the Australian wool market as well as the Rand weakening against the most important currencies resulted in the increase in the South African wool market. This shows a positive outlook for the nearby future. The receival of wool in the brokers’ stores this week is 2.9% lower, compared to the same time of the previous season.

Sustainable certified (RWS) good quality Merino wool, again enjoyed good attention on the auction and saw healthy competition amongst buyers. Certification is a tendency that came to stay and producers must take note of this trend.
