Die Cape Wools Merino aanwyser het met 8.6% gestyg teenoor die vorige veiling en teen 'n skoonprys van R146.32/kg gesluit. Die Australiese EMI het met 9.3% versterk teenoor die vorige veiling. Die Rand het, ooreenstemmende tyd van die vorige veiling, 0.6% sterker verhandel teen die VSA Dollar en 0.8% versterk teenoor die Euro. Die grootste styging van 9.7%, was in die 22 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 7642 bale aangebied, waarvan 93.9% verkoop is.

Op die OVK veiling is 2417 bale aangebied waarvan 83.4% verkoop is. Die hoogste prys op die OVK veiling, van R165.00/kg, is behaal vir ‘n 1 baal lot AAFY van 15.8 mikron, uit die skeersel van die Diereproduksie Navorsing Trust, Caledon. Die koper was Standard Wool SA. Baie geluk met hierdie prestasie!

VOORUITSIGTE

Die week se styging kan toegeskryf word aan die versterking van die Australiese mark en die hoër aanvraag vanuit China vir beter Merino wol, wat tot 'n hoogs kompeterende mark gelei het. Die vooruitsig op die kort tot medium termyn, is dat die vraag uit China kan toeneem, vanweë stimulasie in die ekonomie na die Covid-19 pandemie. Wol ontvang in die makelaars se store hierdie week, is 5.1% 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.  Produsente kan gerus kennis neem hiervan en ook aanvaar dat dit 'n toekomsneiging is wat gekom het om te bly. Skakel gerus met OVK om u by te staan in die sertifiseringsproses. Die volgende wolveiling is geskeduleer vir 21 Oktober, waar sowat 6268 bale aangebied sal word.

FORECAST

This week's increase can be attributed to the stronger Australian market and the increased demand from China for better Merino wool, resulting in a highly competitive market. The expectations for the short to medium term, is that demand from China might increase because of the stimulation of their economy after the Covid-19 pandemic. The receival of wool in the brokers’ stores this week is 5.1% lower, compared to the same time of the previous season.

Sustainable certified (RWS), good quality Merino wool, was in high demand on the auction and enjoyed healthy competition amongst the buyers. Producers have to take note of this and also accept that this is a future trend which has come to stay. We invite farmers to contact OVK for assistance in the certification process. The next wool auction is scheduled for 21 October where 6268 bales will be on offer.
