This was stated by Jimmy Jackson, Global Product Development Manager of Australian Wool Innovation. Jackson was in the city today.

He pointed out that at the moment, China is the biggest market for Australian marino wool. Jackson said that this is one of the finest varieties of wool in world. Now, the Australian suppliers are targeting the Indian market, where they have a share of only 10 per cent.

At present, 15 manufacturing units of the country are using Australian marino wool for making products for highend consumers. These products are likely to be ready in a month.

Jackson pointed out that two of these units are in Ludhiana, namely Rage Knits and R N Oswal. The company also plans to open an office in Delhi soon, where apart from information about wool variety. Even designing ideas will also be given by a team of designers, he added.
