wool industry
The wool industry involves the production, processing, and distribution of wool, a natural fiber obtained from sheep. Wool is valued for its warmth, durability, and versatility, making it a popular choice for clothing, blankets, and carpets. Major wool-producing countries include Australia, New Zealand, and China, which contribute significantly to the global supply.
Wool is harvested through a process called shearing, where sheep are carefully shorn to collect their fleece. After shearing, the wool is cleaned, sorted, and processed into various products. The industry also supports many jobs, from farmers to manufacturers, contributing to local economies worldwide.
