South African Mohair Wholesale (Raw, Greasy)

South African Mohair Wholesale — Raw, Greasy Grade

AM Global Supply sources South African mohair wholesale directly from established Karoo region producers. South Africa produces approximately 53 percent of the world’s total mohair supply, making it the undisputed global leader in this luxury fiber. As a result, this product connects manufacturers to the most established and highest-volume mohair supply chain in the world.

An Angora Goat Luxury Fiber

Mohair comes from the fleece of Angora goats, shorn approximately every six months. Each goat produces up to 5 kg of fiber annually, with adult fleece weighing around 2 kg per shearing. Because of this natural production limit, mohair maintains genuine scarcity value relative to more abundant fibers like cotton or polyester.

Auction-Graded Quality System

South African mohair moves through a formal auction system at the Wool and Mohair Exchange in Port Elizabeth, held roughly 14 times per year. Bales undergo classing by length, strength, and texture before sale, with individual bales weighing up to 150 kg. Because of this rigorous grading infrastructure, buyers benefit from transparent, market-verified quality standards uncommon in less formalized fiber markets.

Karoo Region Growing Conditions

The dry, semi-arid Karoo region provides ideal conditions for Angora goat farming, with major producing areas including Jansenville, Graaff-Reinet, and Cradock. Generations of specialized breeding expertise in this region have refined the fiber’s characteristic softness and luster. Consequently, this origin appeals to luxury manufacturers seeking genuine provenance alongside consistent quality.
