Wool fiber is produced from sheep. The number of sheep in Turkey is estimated to be as 35 millions. But greasy woolproductionper sheep is under 1.5kg. Fine wool need of Turkey is met by importation. Since wool is accepted as a product that cames second to meat and milk and because of the lack of a stabilepricepolicy, the results of the wool improvement studies have not beena dequate. If our wool is to be improved from the points of views of both yield and quality, and if the improvement would take time, than Turkey must decide on whether the support should be given to wool importation or to the breeders and breed improvements.
