The first auction of the summer season delivered strong results with the average Mohair South Africa market indicator increasing by 5% in Rand terms. The increase in prices points to firm demand especially for super kid and young goat types amid lower stock volumes in the hands of processors and traders. The Rand appreciated to its strongest levels since 2023 to the USD and gained nearly 7% since the last mohair sale held in December.
Much needed rain has fallen in large parts of the production area this past week which will bring relieve to producers who had to navigate a summer of extreme temperatures, drought and a significant increase in feed expenses.
Kid + 2%
Young goat + 5%
Adult unchanged
The next auction is much bigger in volume and is scheduled for 03 March 2026 with approximately 180 tons on offer.
