Australia hopes to see India’s wool production increase, which will in turn, inspire its textile sector to flourish, creating jobs and opportunities along the production chain, from farmer, to textile manufacturer, to apparel producers and ultimately to delighted consumers worldwide., Australia’s High Commissioner to India Harinder Sidhu said.
Australian sheep will be part of a sheep breeding program for wool development, an initiative under India’s National Livestock Mission. It is expected that the first sheep will arrive in India in September-October this year for settling at the Uttarakhand State Wool Development Board. (DS)
