A significant milestone for the country's wool sector, with an export deal signed. 

Wool Source has had its first commercial export order confirmed. 

The Wool Research Organisation company's signed a deal with a Japanese company, for eight tonnes of Kiwi products. 

Chair Andrew Morrison told Heather du Plessis-Allan they’ve spent about seven years deconstructing strong wool down to a molecular level and finding applications for it. 

He says this is the first shipment going into the personal care market, but they’re also looking into fire retardanty, packaging, and pigments.
