About Afghan Cashmere

Cashmere is an ancient material which, although renowned for its softness, but it comes from harsh environments. over the last decade, increased global demand for cashmere and repercussions from climate change have posed challenges for the fragile ecosystems the cashmere industry relies on.

Afghanistan is the third largest cashmere producing country in the world after China and Mongolia, producing 1,000 metric tonnes of cashmere annually. 10 to 30 percent of Afghanistan’s cashmere-producing goats are being harvested for the high-value material, with the bulk still being used primarily for meat and milk, with cashmere taken as a by-product.
