AAA and MUSIAD Sydney sign export deal for alpaca

As per a deal worth over $10 million between the Australian Alpaca Association (AAA) and MUSIAD Sydney, a Turkish business organisation, a large number of live Australian alpacas will be exported to Turkey for genetics. These alpacas would also be sent to Turkey for scouring and processing into textiles. At present, the fleece is sent to mills in New Zealand for scouring before it can be made into yarns and garments.

The Millpaca stud farm in NSW, Australia produces about 10 tons of fleece each year. According to its owner, and AAA president, Ian Frith, the export deal was a great opportunity for producers as it would help their country, which is the fourth biggest textile manufacturer in the world, boost its breeding herds. The Australian alpaca farmers would be able to explore different markets outside its country and put more value-added products into countries close to Turkey.
