Alpaca wool market is tight, Australia is eager to expand the scale of breeding, but China wants to breed, but imports are restricted.

An alpaca is an animal that looks like a camel and fluff like a sheep. Its appearance is very adorable, and alpaca is popular all over China due to people's online parodies a few years ago. In the past, alpacas were only raised amateur on major farms, but now they have found the economic value of alpaca wool, especially from the Chinese market. Now the sales prospect of alpaca wool is very considerable, the supply is far behind the demand, and the price is good. An Australian farmer told us that they had received many orders from China, and one of the demanders had asked us to supply 3000 tons of alpaca hair every year. The supply of alpaca wool on the market exceeds the demand!

Let's learn about alpacas first. There are now about 200000 alpacas in Australia, and that number will increase to 1 million within three years.

From the tropical coast to the alpine mountains, wherever there are people, there are alpacas. Alpacas have strong adaptability and rough feeding performance, and can survive well in a particularly harsh natural environment, with the advantages of both yaks and camels. Alpaca can better protect the ecological environment of grassland than sheep in the inferior grassland, gravel and desert shrub grassland in high-altitude pastoral areas. in low-altitude pastoral areas, alpaca is the livestock with the highest utilization rate of orange rod.

The wool and meat of alpaca have high economic value. In particular, alpaca wool has the following advantages over wool:

The allergy of alpaca wool is low, and some people who are allergic to wool can choose alpaca wool products as warm clothing.

2 Alpaca wool fiber is longer than wool, so its friction resistance and strength are relatively high, especially the characteristics of no pilling, so it is very popular.

(3) the fiber of alpaca wool is bright in color, silky in hand, and has a better drooping feeling, which makes it more beautiful and generous when making a coat.

Some people want to ask, can China raise alpacas? In fact, agricultural experts have long visited Australia, and the result is that China is very suitable for alpaca farming. If you encounter such agricultural problems, you can consult experts on the Cloud farming platform, which is the world's largest agricultural technology question and answer website. It brings together tens of thousands of planting and aquaculture experts, and every question raised will be answered within two minutes.

Although alpacas have high economic value, alpaca farming is rare in other countries, mainly because of export restrictions in major producing countries, such as Chile's annual import and export of 300. At present, there are only a few aquaculture in China, most of which are used for visits. China's first marine alpaca park was settled in Yantai in 2014. As China's first marine alpaca ranch, Litiao Island Alpaca Park attracts batch after batch of tourists to go sightseeing and sightseeing. The completion of Li Tiao Island Alpaca Park has aroused heated discussion from all walks of life, resulting in another "healing shrine" on the coastline of Yantai.

Alpacas have a long reproductive cycle, giving birth to only one child a year, and only one child a year. Therefore, the phenomenon that the market for alpaca wool is in short supply will continue for a long time. As a result of growing demand in China and other Asian countries, alpaca farming in Australia has grown from a hobby to a promising industry.
