Price Stability
Seasonality is also a price determining factor. All hunters know that during the moult and into the summer months the fibre is shorter than for the remainder of the year and therefore has less value to the yarn spinner. This is the reason that there is a price decrease during the summer months. We encourage hunters, if possible, to operate for a nine month season – March to November. This will ensure better returns.
Price stability –starting with the supplier and following through to the end user is one of the most important factors in determining the longevity of an industry. Basically Bush believe that the possum harvesting industry has a robust future and to support that strive at maintaining a stable price throughout, while ensuring that the hunter is well rewarded for his labour.
