Minks are small precious fur mammals of the order Carnivora, Mustelidae and Mustelidae. Its fur has many advantages, such as straight needle hair, flexible and gorgeous, rich fluff, strong warmth, light and thin leather plate, flexible and strong, and so on, so it has become the leading product of small capillary fur. Mink, fox and lambskin have become the three pillar products of international fur trade. The trade volume of mink in the world has reached more than 50 million pieces every year. The mink breeding industry in China began in the 1950s and has grown to the scale of annual export of 5 million pieces by the mid-1980s. After entering the 1990s, mink and other precious furs have changed from unified foreign trade export to open operation and sales to the domestic market, which has further stimulated the development of mink breeding industry in China. At present, the mink breeding industry in China is facing good development opportunities and prospects.

The price prospect of mink

1. Mink is one of the main products in the international precious fur market.

From the history of fur trade in the international market, mink has always been one of the pillar products. The breeding of precious fur animals at home and abroad is bound to form a mink-based situation and pattern.

2. The market prospect of mink is better than that of large capillaries such as fox and raccoon dog.

From the point of view of the quality and value of mink, its utilization rate is also higher than that of large capillaries such as fox and mink skin, especially in the domestic market. Mink is famous for its short plush, bright and luxurious. It is the main raw material for making clothes, collars, hats, cuffs and ornaments. It is widely used and in great demand. Because the fur is thicker and longer than mink and not as gorgeous as mink, the domestic market is not suitable for making coats, but only suitable for making collars, cuffs, shawls and other accessories, so the utilization rate is lower than mink. Thus it can be seen that the development prospect of small capillaries dominated by minks is better than that of large capillaries such as foxes and raccoons.

3. The market price of mink is stable and rising steadily.

The market order of mink is good, and the market situation has been more stable than foxes and raccoons, and it has shown a steady upward trend in recent years. The law of high quality and high price embodied in the mink market not only greatly increases the price of colored mink skin, but also creates an opportunity for mink breeders to accelerate population improvement, produce marketable high-quality fur and improve economic benefits.
