Zhucheng City, Shandong Province: The Marten Farmers Have Not Lost This Year.

Every August, it is mink Time to concentrate. The more than 1500 mink Wang Xiangjie family of Zang Jia Chuang-tzu village, Xinxing Town, Zhucheng City, Shandong Province, has been sold almost. This year, however, he could not be happy. "This year, he has lost more than ten million yuan. He has never lost so much in these years." Wang Xiangjie was the first village to breed mink in the village. He usually likes to watch the news, but he doesn't know that the "Russia Ukraine dispute" and the civil war in Ukraine almost everyday appear to affect his business.

Wang Xiangjie began to raise mink in 2008. The price of marten has been at a high level for the past two years, and his marten garden has been expanding. Now there are more than 10 acres of marten garden. At this time last year, the price of a male mink can be sold to more than 300 yuan, and the female mink is around 200 yuan. "This year only sold more than 100 yuan a piece, too much."

In the village of Zang Jia Chuang-tzu, there are now more than ten households raising mink. "Those new households who have just started raising mink these two years are even worse this year." The sale of Wang Xiangjie's mink last year has not been fully handed, and this year it has lost more than ten million yuan. Next year, it is not ready to keep it.

Wang Chao, a native of Jiaozhou, tasted the taste of "high hang up". He began to examine the mink in the past year, and he finally made up his mind to invest at the end of last year. The site fee, labor cost and feed cost have invested a lot, but the price of this year's mink is not even half of that of last year, which made Wang Chao lose about 200000 yuan in the first year. Now, the mink market is at a low ebb, and some powerful large families are selling their skin at low prices and selling when the market is warmer. "As I have just started, there is no money to go through." Wang Chao said.

A large breed of mink: bad market, no bank loan.

Sun Jiajie, a large breed of mink in Lubiao Town, has been raising mink since 2002, but he has never experienced such a cold market this year. "The mink skin is 130 yuan a piece, the female mink skin is 90 yuan, this kind of price is not enough even the cost, how can not lose." Sun Jiajie sighed. Last year, when the price of marten was good, he expanded the scale of aquaculture. However, he lost nearly 400 thousand yuan this year.

In Sun Jiajie's eyes, there are many difficulties facing the mink households. The cost of feed and labor is rising, and the price of marten continues to decline. However, the biggest trouble is that banks no longer lend money to such mink households. Like Sun Jiajie, many mink farmers have been holding the white stripes of the mink traders last year, which makes it difficult for mink farmers to cash in. The bank's policy of reducing loans and stopping lending to mink farmers will undoubtedly make them worse.

　　 Haining Leather City This is the best way to buy mink coat this year.

From the Zhucheng to the Xinxing town highway, there is a sign of "collecting mink" every 10 meters. However, most of the Martens are very cold.

Wang Shoubao, a Zhucheng native, has been helping the customers from the Hebei area to buy mink for 5 years. He told me that most of the mink collection in Zhucheng is coming from Tangshan City, Hebei province. "Zhucheng is a mink, and it is very rare in processing and can only be sold to foreigners."

stay China The largest market for raw fur trade in Hebei is Shang Village, which mainly deals with raw skins from Shandong and Northeast China. Mink from Shandong is mostly low-grade skin. Market prices showed that the price of domestic mink reached the highest level in 2002, 800 yuan per piece, and 200 yuan per sharp in 2003. After that, the price of the mink reached a trend of 400 yuan in 2010.

Tangshan, which is more than 200 kilometers away from Shang Village, is a gathering place for large mink processing enterprises in China. The boss of mink processing factory from Tangshan often set up several acquisition points in Zhucheng this year. Last year, when he collected mink in Zhucheng, he could receive 600 pieces a day, and he could take more than 1000 pieces this year. "This year there are too many Martens on the Zhucheng side, and the output is very large." He believes that it is Zhucheng's mink production too much, resulting in this year's price of mink can not go.

We often intend to take advantage of this year's low price of marten and buy some stocks. Although this year's processing costs are rising, the price of marten slump is not very influential on the mink processing enterprises in the industrial chain of fur industry. "This year, the factory's profits are good. Many large processing plants in Tangshan are in the process of storing mink products while the price of raw leather has fallen sharply this year."

A person in charge of leather city in Haining, China, said that although the price of domestic mink is generally reduced by 30% to 40% this year, and even more than 50% in some areas, the cost of intermediate processing and garment design has not declined. "Now it is not yet the peak season for sale, the mink coat will be reduced and can not be predicted, but this year is definitely the most suitable time to buy mink coat in the past few years."
