Let's look at the “hard” possibilities of the “soft gold” of Inner Mongolia. 

The world's cashmere is looking to China, and China's cashmere is looking to Inner Mongolia. Inner Mongolia is the main high-quality goat cashmere producing region in the world, and the cashmere production volume ranks first in the country. From the collection of wool and the sale of raw materials to finished cashmere products, products are exported to more than 20 countries and regions around the world.

Cashmere is a unique animal fiber that comes from goats and is called “soft gold.” What is the value of Inner Mongolia's "soft gold"?

Value lies in rarity. Cashmere is a “protective layer” that goats naturally grow to keep them warm in the winter. Only goats living in high-altitude and semi-desert mid-latitude regions can produce high-quality cashmere. One sheep produces several kilograms of wool per year, while one goat produces only about a few tens of grams of cashmere per year.

The value is in the "subtlety". Inner Mongolia snow white goats were bred from Mongolian goats, and their cashmere has a diameter of 13-18 microns, long fibers, good luster, high strength, whiteness and soft touch feeling. These high qualities make it a leader in the international market.

The value lies in "high added value". From wool collection, sorting, washing, combing, dyeing, to spinning, weaving, sewing, and then to final inspection, ironing and packaging, there are more than 120 steps to go through from one cashmere fiber to the finished product.

What are the "hard" advantages of Inner Mongolia's "soft gold"?

The quality of genetic resources is “solid”. Good cashmere comes from good goats. Inner Mongolian cashmere has a fiber diameter of 13.8 microns.

Innovation and research technologies are "solid".

As cashmere can get longer, technology that keeps cashmere's fineness at around 14.5 microns is key.

Cashmere is distinguished by its high quality and variety of patterns; it not only sells well, but also has an excellent reputation.
