NAFA just announced some upper level management changes. Herman Jansen is officially retiring. For the last 10 years he has been the Managing Director. He started in the fur business in 1966, with Hudson Bay & Annings in London, England. https://www.hideandfur.com/exchange/Wiss...mp;unfiltered=1Herman was always a staunch and active supporter of wild fur. Will be interesting to see what happens when he steps away.

Wonder if this is the " downsizing " that nafa is starting already. Things are going to be interesting in the fur world the next 5 years to see who survives and who doesn't.

Saw one year his travel expense was 500 grand, I think they'll be just fine, ranch mink is their bread/butter, wild fur is more a flea market affair than an actual profitable business. Fur farmer's did a great job.

Fur farmer's did a great job. One thing no one is taking into account is the possible major reduction in ranch mink that may be coming in the next couple years. Nafa is fine this year but what about next year and the following year. Nafa needs that wild fur too.

mink99, You sound a little worried. You might be entering my world soon. Finding new ways to sell your product.
I'll give you something to worry about. I noticed on egg carton the other morning that the eggs were certified "Cage Free" Apparently, that's important to consumers.

I am a little worried as I have seen what new management can do to a company. Maybe it will be just fine, maybe better. We will see.
As far as cage free, so be it, but I am more worried about the perception of the leghold trap being inhumane.
That is why there is the certification for ranch and wild fur. It really is the only answer for the European and American consumer for now.

Certification of ranch fur has nothing to do with legholds. It has to do with farming practices that Europeons find objectionable. Probably why the farms are getting banned.
You should take over Herman's old job as the spin doctor.

I can't feel sorry for Europeon farmers who actively supported the wild fur ban in the eighties.

Eurotrash. Met a lot of good people raising fur in US unfortunately overproducing be it fur,milk,corn is a product of good markets and good old capitalism greed In listening to Groeny and talking to fur buyers most agree this is worse than 87 or the late 90s the worst market they have witnessed
