Social Impacts  Income from sales of wool and mutton:  47 % internal income in 2004  Increased to 59% (2006) and 65% (2009)  Social indicators (2004 to 2009):  Children going to bed hungry (43,1% to 27,3%)  Households savings accounts (56,9% to 77,3%)  Borrow money school fees: (78,4% to 52,3%)  Job creation: 30% increase in number of communal producers in formal market

Conclusion  Wool is non-perishable- market when opportune  Export product- earns foreign currency for households in most rural and extensive farming areas in SA  “New” money to stimulate and support rural economy  Was the stimulus for establishment of many rural towns in SA over TWO centuries plus a commercial bank!  Wool has potential to continue to support rural development even today!!  NWGA needs partnership with DRDAR to continue with T&D
