Die Australiese EMI het egter met 0.7% versterk teenoor die vorige veiling. Die Rand het, ooreenstemmend dieselfde tyd van die vorige veiling, 2.9% sterker verhandel teen die VSA Doller en het ook 1.2% verbeter teenoor die Euro. Die grootste daling van 5.2%, was in die 19.5 mikron segment. Standard Wool SA het op hierdie veiling die grootste hoeveelheid bale gekoop, gevolg deur G. Modiano SA , Lempriere SA en Stucken & Co. Daar is in totaal 13 459 bale aangebied, waarvan 95.7% verkoop is.

Op die OVK veiling is 3 097 bale aangebied waarvan 90.2% verkoop is. Die hoogste prys op die OVK veiling, van R200.00/kg, is behaal vir ‘n 1 baal lot BH van 15.8  mikron, uit die skeersel van Kenneth Biggs Trust, vanuit Jansenville.  Die koper was Standard Wool SA . Baie geluk met hierdie prestasie!

VOORUITSIGTE

Met slegs twee veilings in hierdie wolseisoen oor, gesamentlik met die Australiese wolmark se verbetering, verwag ons dat die Suid-Afrikaanse wolmark grootliks sywaarts sal beweeg en selfs effens kan versterk. Die prestasie van die Rand teenoor die vernaamste geldeenhede, sal egter ook 'n beduidende rol speel. Wol ontvang in die makelaars se store hierdie week, is 7.0% hoër 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. Al meer internasionale klem word gelê op standaarde en is ook hierdie week uitgelig tydens die IWTO kongres, wat steeds aan die gang is. Ons nooi produsente uit om te skakel met OVK, om u by te staan in die sertifiseringsproses. Produsente moet kennis neem dat inweeg vir die nuwe wolseisoen reeds begin het. Die volgende wolveiling is geskeduleer vir 02 Junie 2021, waar sowat 10 053 bale aangebied sal word.

OVK bied voorskotte op vesel wat by ons gelewer word, asook produksielenings. Skakel gerus die OVK Veselkantoor in Port Elizabeth of u Tegniese Veldbeampte vir meer inligting. Vind ook meer uit oor die opwindende nuwe kommissiestruktuur op vesel bemark deur OVK. Produsente word ook herinner aan die lojaliteitskema van OVK, waar boere beloon word met 23.9 sent vir elke kilogram vesel wat deur OVK bemark word.

FORECAST

With only two auctions left in the current wool season, together with the increase in the Australian wool market, we expect to see a sideways movement in the South African wool market and even a slight improvement. The performance of the Rand, compared to the main currencies, should also play a significant role though. The receival of wool in the brokers’ stores this week is 7.0% higher, 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. A lot more international emphasis is placed on standards and was clearly highlighted during this week's IWTO congress, still in progress. We invite farmers to contact OVK for assistance in the certification process.  Producers must take note that weigh-in for the new season has commenced. The next wool auction is scheduled for 02 June 2021 where about 10 053 bales will be on offer.
