The aim of this direct approach is higher prices, lower selling costs and more feedback between customers and growers, allowing wool growers to access good advice on the strength of markets internationally and the best market for their product.
"We want to see a sustainable wool industry in Australia and to achieve that, the grower needs to be receiving the best price for their wool."
Wool purchased by Australian Merino Direct including crossbred types, is not only sold directly to overseas mills, but also supplies Australian Merino Exports with fibre for their top making and early stage processing operations.
"At Australian Merino Exports we produce specialty wool tops for our international clients so in that way, the grower is selling directly to a wool consumer rather than a middle man", Mr Thomson says.
