In November 2000 ABQ Alpacas sent the first ever shipment of alpacas, 60 to Dr Gavin Lindhorst of Cape Town, South Africa. This was followed in October 2001 by a second shipment of 30 females, fawns and browns with 4 males to Chris Griffith of Lidgetton in Natal, South Africa.
A further shipment to South Africa is planned for later in 2005.
The alpacas have adapted well in their South African environment, a further endorsement of the alpacas already proven versatility to adapt to the many differing environments found in around the world.

Alpaca Fibre Marketing
;)
Breeders in South Africa have been quick to establish an outlet for the alpaca fibre. With a developing industry this has been a very important step to ensure a viable long term future for the industry.
South Africa will soon have its own Alpaca mark, a generic quality label for all the approved South African manufactured garments.
