The structure of wool and wool textile production, trade and consumption 1948-68

Abstract

In this bulletin we bring up to date the statistical series given in Publication No. 42, the aim of which was to present a picture of the structure of the world wool market by tracing through the major flows of wool from producer to final user and measuring the trend changes, since 1948, in these flows. From this we can secure an approximate indication of the origins of demand changes for wool throughout the world. The data series, presented in Publication No. 42, terminated in 1965. They are here given for a further two years - to the end of 1967.
