Fur and skin outlook

28/4/2014

0 Comments

 

A lot of you have been asking us what is happening with skins this year. Last year we purchased strongly on the back of very positive demand from off shore. Unfortunately for us this demand did not come to fruition, and at the end of last year we found ourselves with much larger stocks that we anticipated. We have been slowly working our way through this, and we expect to start looking for skins in late June early July.
However this year we will be looking to do things quite differently. For those of you in the North Island who want to supply us with skins this year you will have to deliver them to our Woodville tannery direct, or make arrangements with us for their delivery. For regular clients we will help with freight and logistics but we will not be grading and buying skins on the  road  this year in the North Island.
Our reasons for this are simple.Last year we had to much down grade from road buyers, and skins were arriving in poor condition, we are  looking to have more consistency in our grading and handling this year. Prices for skins this season will be around 20% less than last season,

We appreciate that some of you will have some issues sending skins away for grading and waiting for payment
. However we ask you to work with us to build trust between both parties to make this work.
This year we will be looking for all grades and will be encouraging hunters to skin everything if they want to.
This season we will be offering supply contracts to selected hunters for both fur and skins. If you would like to find out more contact us via the email address   basicallybush@farmside.co.nz.

Fur prices remain consistent at $105/kg, and indications are that there will be no significant change over the next two  months.
