Japan Mills Boost Wool Manufacturing Amid Foreign Sales Growth
Japanese mills have expanded turnover and machinery since 1924, aided by currency depreciation and government support for woollens. Continentally built combs now handle shorter wools, making Japan a major buyer of Australian, South African, and Commonwealth wools. Australian consumption has surged, tops production up, and combined Japanese and Australian millmen buy about 1,000,000 bales yearly, supporting broader woolwear demand.
