During the experience sharing trip, representatives of the factories mentioned the problems of the wool and cashmere sector such as need for expanding cooperation, development of clusters, and lack of skilled workforce. In addition, it was clarified that the government's decision to export dehaired cashmere starting from 2023 is a step that increases the value addition domestically.
