[QUOTE="Agriland RSS, post: 8140460, member: 105608"] Written by William Kellett from Agriland [RIGHT][IMG alt="wool"]https://s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/cdn.agriland.co.uk/uploads/2021/01/1.-British-Wool-Depot-640x360.jpg[/IMG][/RIGHT] British Wool will be making payments worth £8.4m to its members for the 2021 clip, an increase to an overall average of 36.4p/kg. Andrew Hogley, CEO said, ”The 135% average increase over the prior year is down to improved auction prices for wool over the last 12 months alongside a push to reduce operational costs.” “Although the price is not yet where we would like it to be, it represents a huge recovery since the difficulties of 2020. We continue to work hard to improve returns further for our members.” “We are optimistic that the strong demand we have seen over recent months will be sustained, that the recovery in the market will continue through 2022, and that this will result in further price improvement for the 2022 wool clip.” Hogley continued: “Everything we do has the primary aim of adding value to British wool in order to boost payments to our members. As always, grade returns are determined by the average auction price for the season.” Returns for the 2021 [URL='https://www.agriland.co.uk/farming-news/category/sheep/']clip[/URL] will be around 40p/kg for many core grades, around 30p/kg for Blackface wool and around 15p/kg for Welsh and Swaledale. In all cases, this is a significant improvement on 2020 prices due to sales being badly affected by the pandemic. Some speciality types such as Herdwick and Bluefaced Leicester will receive significantly higher returns. Herdwick wool will return 80p/kg and Bluefaced Leicester will return £5.50/kg. An additional £1.00/kg is also being paid out on most types of Organic certified wool. “We recognise that our members have a choice to deliver wool to us. On the whole our returns are competitive relative to the prices offered by our competitors and in many cases significantly higher,” he said. “However, unlike our competitors we don’t make a profit from wool. We sell on our members’ behalf and deduct the cost of marketing and processing. “The more wool we have to sell, the lower our costs per kg and the better the returns are for all our members.” The post [URL='https://www.agriland.co.uk/farming-news/wool-prices-increased-by-135-in-2021/']Wool prices increased by 135% in 2021[/URL] appeared first on [URL='https://www.agriland.co.uk']Agriland.co.uk[/URL].
