Angora Fiber of Uttarakhand

Angora rabbit breeding and production was a state-sponsored project and is administered by the Uttarakhand Sheep and Wool Development Board. Angora is a specialty fiber that fetches high rates in the market. It was felt that the fiber would render fresh impetus to the wool-based economy of the northern districts of Uttarakhand, which are the backbone of the traditional wool based cottage industry.
