VOORUITSIGTE

Die versterking in die mark die week, kan die begin van 'n opwaartste kurwe wees. 'n Groot onsekerheid heers egter rondom die opkomende feesgety en die manier waarop die wêreldwye Covid-19 situasie dit kan beïnvloed. Wol ontvang in die makelaars se store hierdie week, is 7.9% 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. Produsente kan gerus kennis neem hiervan en ook aanvaar dat dit 'n toekomsneiging is wat gekom het om te bly. Op die pas afgelope virtuele IWTO rondetafel byeenkoms, was standaarde prominent op die agenda en was die besprekings onder rolspelers in die globale wolindustrie dit eens en het beklemtoon dat verbruikers dit al meer vereis. Skakel gerus met OVK om u by te staan in die sertifiseringsproses. Die volgende wolveiling is geskeduleer vir 13 Januarie 2021.

FORECAST

The strengthening of the wool market this week, may be the beginning of an upward trend. A substantial uncertainty exists about the upcoming festive season and to what extend it will be influenced by the global Covid-19 situasion. The receival of wool in the brokers’ stores this week is 7.9% 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. During the virtual IWTO round table, which took place this week, standards were prominent on the agenda and global role players in the wool industry, did agree and emphasized that consumer are starting to put strong demand in this regard.  We invite farmers to contact OVK for assistance in the certification process. The next wool auction is scheduled for 13 January 2021.
