describes Raika camel breeders’ traditional knowledge about value
addition to dromedary camel wool. The information was collected through

value among the products of camel production system but breeders add value to
it by investing their free time and prepare/ get prepared ropes, rugs and
carpets from it. These are important household items for camel breeding
profession and their day to day life. |
