Abstract: Abstract Chapter 8 notes that New Zealand wool exports were far less dependent on sales to Britain than meat and dairy exports. Unlike the meat and dairy sectors, the wool story is not a story of clinging to the British market whilst seeking to diversify into new markets. Sales to markets other than Britain easily made up for the reduction in sales to Britain. The main long-term difficulties were from synthetics and economic instability in New Zealand’s main wool export markets. Those threats encouraged attempts at reform for the wool industry but the success of wool exports in the 1940s and 1950s encouraged woolgrowers opposition to reform.
