Chinese Consumers Stimulate Exports Of American Mink Products

< p > China's rapidly growing middle class is eager to have high-end a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > clothing /a and luxury household products. They have a special liking for fur wrapped knapsack, mink coat and office supplies with mink decorations. In 2010, more than half of all fur coats sold in the world were bought by Chinese consumers. According to the data provided by the China Association of food, animal and meat import and export, it is estimated that the retail sales of Chinese fur products from long fur coats to toilet paper covered with mink reached US $6 billion in 2012. < /p >
< p > no one is more than a manager of a clothing company in Shanghai. Her shop is located on the six floor of a shopping mall in the center of Shanghai. It was stacked with black, blue and silver mink. Zhang Lingli said, < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/" > mink < /a > is especially welcomed by people with idle funds. She said that over the past few years, the demand for mink has been rising year by year, and the price of mink has also been increasing. But her customers didn't care about it and asked her to produce products made of fur of higher quality in the United States, Canada and Europe. "They just want to buy fur products," she said. < /p >
Driven by this demand, the US exports to China "a href=" //www.sjfzxm.com "mink products" /a "increased to a record $215 million 500 thousand in 2012, more than two times the value and transport volume in 2009. There have been two recessions over the past few years. The criticisms of the animal rights protection organizations in the United States and Europe on fur trade have also been increasing. The mink farms have closed down and the price of mink has plummeted. Today, the prices of mink farms produced by farming are soaring all the way, reaching a record high. In 2012, American mink farmers, hunters and auction houses shipped and sold 11 million 800 thousand furs worth 479 million US dollars worldwide. This is almost three times that of 2009. < /p >
< p > in recent months, weather factors have pushed up the demand for mink. At the end of 2012, both Russia and China experienced an unusually cold winter. The miserable low temperature on the other side of the world has become a celebration in Ron Ginger's mink farm. Ron's daughter-in-law Justin said: "from the trend of the Russian currency to the weather forecast in China, you have to track a lot of information, you must know what customers want." < /p >
< p > at least for now, a large number of buyers and manufacturers in China have flocked to the "a href=" //www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp "fur" /a auction house in Seattle and Canada. At the auction recently held in Toronto North America's a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > leather /a auction house, the average price of each black male mink is over 141 dollars. Two years ago, similar quality mink sold for only $98. Nancy Danio, director of the North American Leather auction department, said: "more than 700 buyers have registered for the auction, most of which are from China. We never had so many buyers before. < /p >
