Summary

Today, the National Association of fur farmer is the main organization in the territory of Russia, representing this industry area. In association of farms there are growing and selling pedigree young animals and mink's skins at more than 15 colors (including short-haired Scandinavian), also skins of polar fox and foxes (silver-black, ognevka, sivodushka), skins of nutria, rabbit and, of course, sable.

The main objective of the Association is the practical work to unify and coordinate the activities of cell furs' and fur raw materials' manufacturers to achieve economic and financial sustainability of the company. For this objective we provide advice to members of the Association at legal, financial, economic, managerial and other matters.

We are organizing the seminars, exhibitions, conferences, together with domestic and foreign organizations to share experiences and mutually beneficial cooperation. We are actively engaged in dialogue with all legislative and executive bodies of power at the level of federations and local authorities on whose territory there are placed fur farms - members of our association. Suffice constructively we are developing our relationships with the Office of Veterinary and Livestock of Russian Department of Agriculture in terms of proposals for targeted funding, concessional lending and other activities at state fur industry supporting.

In the three working years our Association held sufficiently serious efforts to ensure fur enterprises with necessary practical information in the field of new technological developments on feeding, maintenance, primary furs processing and other.

One of the main achievements in the work of our association can be considered constructive daily dialogues, which today are taking place among the leaders of fur farms, also mutual aid and support on any current issues. After all, communication between colleagues, zootechnicians, veterinarians, simple fur farmers often brings much more useful profit than any other event.

We have very good business relations with almost all industry Associations of the European Union. The most actively work is holding in terms of sharing experiences, procurement of breeding stock and equipment with the Danish fur farmer through the centre of Copenhagen fur. Over 3 years we have regularly visited farms in the Netherlands and meet with general manager of Dutch fur farmer association. Polish farmers are also pleased to come to Russia and we are also frequent guests in their country. At the same time we cooperate with Lithuanian and Finnish fur farmers.
