| Abstract: | This paper reports on the progress that has been made with the utilisation and promotion of fine down (cashmere type) fibre production from indigenous goat breeds in South Africa and on the results obtained on samples received during the past two years of harvesting. Reference is made to the down fibre quality, yield and profile of the samples compared to Chinese cashmere. The paper concludes with the future possibilities of establishing a viable cashmere industry in South Africa. |
