Production of Cashmere wool in the world.
The worldwide production of Cashmere represents only around 0.5 % of all wool production. When this fact is considered it is clear just how special the fabric is. At this time, production from Himalaya is low. The majority of she-goat breeding takes place in Mongolia, with around 75% of worldwide trading in this material comes from this region.
Iran and Afghanistan are responsible for the remainder of the Cashmere produced for consumption; however, Cashmere from this region is not as well known. Although she-goats tend to be quite easy to rear, breeding becomes difficult in such rough terrains. Therefore, there are few places in the world where she-goats can be raised effectively. For these reasons, Mongolia is certain to remain the primary location for the production of the best Cashmere wool.
