Hello Possum Hunters,
We hope that you like our new website specific to you, the hunters, who as we've always said are an important part of our organisation.
We understand that harvesting possum fibre and skins is hard work and we try to support you to the best of our ability; unfortunately we have no control over market forces - i.e. supply and demand and hence the price we can pay for fur and skins. The current price decreases for fur are a result of low demand - China is buying very little and our domestic customer can only buy what in turn they can sell as yarn - again dependent on demand for yarn.
Through this period we will support those hunters who over the past twelve months have supported Basically Bush. Thanks to those of you who support us and we look forward to improving fur markets.
Meanwhile we've had an awesome skin buying season, thanks to all of you who have attended workshops and supplied us with skins. The season is now coming to an end, so no more skins after the end of October please.
Talk to you again next week.
Sue & Steve
