THE FUSE

The mohair industry in South Africa offers a valuable opportunity for goat farmers who want to diversify their income and enter a high value agricultural market. Mohair is a natural fibre produced from Angora goats and is known globally for its softness, durability, and sheen. South Africa is one of the world’s leading producers of mohair, which places local farmers in a strong position within the international textile supply chain. The industry contributes to rural development, job creation, and export earnings, especially in semi arid regions where traditional crop farming is limited. For goat farmers, understanding how the mohair value chain works is essential for long term success and profitability.
