An analysis of the wool characteristics that determine wool price for Merino wool in South Africa

Scientific African
Globally, wool characteristics determine wool price. As a result, wool that does not match the standards for fibre diameter, clean yield and staple length at auctions are sold at cheaper prices. At global level, very few studies in the literature of wool
