New Zealand Wool Board

The New Zealand Wool Board was a New Zealand public body established in 1944 under the Wool Industry Act, whose key objective was "to obtain, in the interests of growers, the best possible returns for New Zealand Wool".
The board was based at Wool House, in Wellington, and funded by a levy on the proceeds of growers' wool sales.

Abolition

McKinsey & Company published a report in 2000 which sparked two years of debate for referendums and reforms to the New Zealand Wool Board. In 2001, McKinsey's recommendations were implemented and the Wool Board was dissolved.
