STRANGE DAYS
It is extremely hard to believe what is happening worldwide right now, and just as hard to believe how our very own trade is paralyzed. We are now about to enter the trapping season of 2020 and the fur from 2019 is still, for the most part, unsold.
Sure, some trappers may have been paid when they sold locally, but in the big picture, most of the fur of 2019 is “in transit,” somewhere between the producers (the trappers) and the manufacturers. Many of the local buyers have the fur stored somewhere, waiting either for prices to recover or waiting for calls from manufacturers. A lot of the wild fur also sits in cold storage at Fur Harvesters).
