5 Largest Wool Producing Countries in the World

3. New Zealand

Greasy Wool Production in 2021: 133,100 Tonnes

New Zealand is the third largest wool producing country in the world. Wool from New Zealand can be whiter compared to other wools. As one of the leading producers in the wool industry, New Zealand produced around 133,100 tonnes of greasy wool in 2021. However, production levels have been declining in the country, and New Zealand produced less than half of the greasy wool that the country was producing nearly 30 years ago.
