New Zealand\u2019s wool industry is getting a boost in front of an international audience.\xa0

Associate Agriculture Minister Mark Patterson is speaking at the International Wool Textile Organisation Congress in Adelaide, promoting the sector and outlining the Coalition Government\u2019s support for revitalising it.\xa0

Campaign for Wool Trustee Sandra Faulkner told Mike Hosking that it\u2019s fantastic to have a minister who is publicly backing New Zealand farmers and what they produce.\xa0

She said that with the focus on moving away from plastic products, it\u2019s all about going back to the basics, getting out there, and celebrating the industry.\xa0

Faulkner said that at the moment it\u2019s a pretty competitive industry and some structures will need to be changed, and she holds hope that this Government will be able to do so.\xa0
