Con un enfoque en la producción de lana en Argentina, trazabilidad, estándares y sostenibilidad, la IWTO realizara su Mesa Redonda de Lana el 4 de diciembre en Buenos Aires.
Argentina es uno de los principales productores mundiales de lana Merino y los pastos de la Patagonia albergan el 66% de las 11.410.000 ovejas del país.
Dos tercios de la pinza de lana argentina es más fina que 24.5 micrones, y el resto está principalmente en el rango medio, de 24.6 a 32.5 micrones.
El programa es el siguiente
