Future for cashgora
Prices of cashgora would not be overly dependent on what happened to mohair and cashmere, believes Mr Noel Wilkinson, executive director of the Mohair Producers’ Association. The long-term future for cashgora has got to be excellent, he said. High prices of cashgora had been reflected in the phenomenal growth in the industry in New Zealand. During the last year, cashgora production had increased by morfe than 120 per cent Total world production of cashgora, however, is still very small at about 200 tonnes, compared with total goat fibre production of 25,000 tonnes. This small output and the specific attributes such as fineness, low lustre, length and flexibility, set cashgora apart from mohair and cashmere and would ensure its longterm future, he said.
