The Northern Fur Shortage Is Serious &Nbsp; The Source Of Goods Is In Urgent Need And The Price Is Doubled.

On 01 November, in the afternoon of October 26th, in the north of the largest "fur town" in Lixian County, Hebei Province, a large rural courtyard was crowded.

This is a fur trading center, Jin Xiaohuai, the owner of the courtyard, told reporters. Sheepskin It has risen to 76 yuan from 35 yuan in the same period last year, but there are still many buyers. "

In the four streets of the town of Levi, such a transaction All more than 200.

It is reported that all kinds of fur, including sheepskin and Fox Skins, have doubled this year. Source of supply Nervous.

Shortage and cost increase help increase

Shortages and cost price increases are recognized by the industry as price drivers.

Zhang Haijun, a farmer in the village of Bai Lou village, told reporters that because of the rising prices of meat, eggs and corn, he raised fox, raccoon and mink and other fine wool animals to eat high protein foods such as meat, eggs, milk and so on, which increased a lot of costs.

In Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and other places, the increase of grain prices and the increase of workers' wages increased the cost of farming after the rearing of captive breeding in captivity.

The root cause of the loss is traced back to the tragic experience of the farmers in 2008 when the financial crisis broke out.

In those days, the demand of major fur consumers in Europe and the United States dropped sharply, and the price of fur fell down. The price of domestic mink and fox fur fell even below the cost of farmers. Many farmers switched to production, and production began to decrease in 2009.

In 2009, with the revival of the international market, the demand for domestic fur clothing also increased significantly, and even the phenomenon of stock breaking occurred. So in the Spring Festival of 2010, enterprises began to replenish their stocks, and the price of fur has been rising since the beginning of the year.

Suspected funds speculation

However, most people admit that the fur market does not seem to support such a high price increase. From the perspective of the fur market, orders in the international market have not increased this year, or even returned to the level before the financial crisis.

Why there is so much demand in the fur market overnight, no one can tell clearly, but we can not exclude some traders from using their own funds and stocks to raise prices.

In Shang Village fur clothing city, Sun Yanjun, owner of garment factory from Haining, told reporters that several large families in history had bought raccoon skins from all over the country.

Some fur traders in the history also said that they had heard a lot of hoarding in the early stage, and many of them came from Wenzhou.

The staff of the local Fu Li Hua Hotel told reporters that recently there have been many buyers of leather goods from Haining or Wenzhou.

In fact, the fur traders in Zhejiang can see the figure of the fur traders in the major fur producing and selling bases in China. Zhang Lei, a local fur trader, told reporters that there were many businessmen from Haining in Inner Mongolia.
