dc.description.abstractThe report offers a progress summary on the ICARDA project “Community Action in Integrated and Market Oriented Feed-Livestock Production in Central and South Asia,” activity #16 “Value added local processing of goat fibers by women and assessing the characteristics of naturally colored mohair and the potentials for its marketing.” This activity is focused on establishing a market chain for mohair yarn which is one of the key export commodities produced by women in the pilot region. During the first project year 2006-2007 research was conducted on the production and marketing of Tajik mohair and mohair yarn and a promising new market for handspun kid mohair yarn in the United States was identified. An access to the this growing US market would allow the Tajik women to earn much higher incomes than by producing coarse, low quality yarns for the Russian market which is currently their main outlet. The report briefly overviews the work that has been done to link the Tajik spinners to the American market during the first project year. It then describes a second set of steps that has been taken to further develop yarn production and marketing and bring the Tajik spinners closer to the objective on marketing mohair yarn and knitted products in the United States.en_US
