The forecasts were assisted by the data from a detailed grower survey of over 1,400 wool producers across Australia, covering production trends, on-farm enterprise mix and flock demographics.
Mr Pattinson said “this survey is a valuable tool to support both the national and state committee's in the development of production and supply information, and we would like to sincerely thank all growers who participated across Australia.”
A full report of the latest forecasts will be available after 2.00pm Thursday, 27th March on the AWI website at www.wool.com.au/forecasts.
The next meeting of the AWI Production Forecasting Committee is scheduled for Thursday, 3rd July 2008.
