Mohair South Africa recently went to Cape Town to meet with local mohair manufacturers, tour their factories and explore opportunities for collaboration and support.

Students attending these agricultural schools represent the future of the mohair industry, including farmers, field agents, valuers, classers, and buyers. Recognising the significance of educational support, Mohair South Africa remains dedicated to nurturing the development of tomorrow's leaders within the mohair industry.

The Mohair South Africa team travelled to London last month for the 2023 Textile Exchange Conference. This global gathering brought together over 1,800 in-person and virtual attendees, encompassing a spectrum of voices from farmers and activists to CEOs and NGOs.

While in England for the Textile Exchange Conference, our Mohair South Africa team embarked on an inspiring journey to Bradford to explore the Seal International mill.

The global mohair clip for 2022 was 4.55 million kgs of which South Africa produced 51% and Lesotho produced 16%. Jointly, Southern Africa produced two thirds of the world’s mohair.
