ABOUT CASHMERE
The countries that produce commercial quantities of raw (from the goat) cashmere are China, with 60-65% of the world’s output, Mongolia, at app. 20-25%, and Iran and Afghanistan at a combined 15%. There are small commercial quantities of cashmere produced in the former Soviet Central Asian nations, Turkey, India, Australia, New Zealand and Pakistan, but these quantities are small in comparison to the 3 primary producers listed above. The annual world output is estimated at app. 11-12,000 tons of raw cashmere.Cashmere comes from a goat.
