There was keen competition from all buyers on today’s large offering which resulted in the average Mohair South Africa market indicator increasing by 5% in Rand terms. Fine young goat qualities continued to perform exceptionally well, and purchase prices have now recovered to levels last seen in the summer of 2024.
The quantity offered on auction for the period August to October has increased by 6% compared to the previous year. While it is too early to make assumptions about an increase in production the figures are encouraging.
