The industrialization ministry and the Swakara Board of Namibia plan to commission a feasibility study on the setting up of wool processing plant in Namibia which could process as much as 360 000 tonnes of wool. The study is expected to cover wool processing such as grading, scouring, drying, carding and felting.
The study will also determine the number of Swakara sheep, and a minimum acceptable farm-gate price for raw wool in Namibia comparative in southern Africa, amongst other things.
