EWE Foundation: Wool processing in Romania

Romanian farmers paid, collectively, 22 million euros to shear their sheep, and the shorn wool has not covered their shearing costs for decades. Mercioniu and his team coordinates 1,000 workers over two months to shear Romanian sheep, organize wool collection points, and coordinate transportation. The wool is currently hauled to a smaller processing factory while the scale-up facility is being built.

About Me

Technical writer and freelance agriculture journalist. Avid reader. Devotee of long walks when I am not writing, reading or knitting. Enthusiast for family farms, farmers and the feathered, furry, hairy, and woolly animals that are the heartbeats of these enterprises. I believe there is always time for a cup of tea and that butter is never an optional ingredient.

Thank you for sharing your time with me and coming by.
