Abstract
The paper assesses the activities of the cellular fur farming industry in the world, while noting
the role of Russia. The world cellular fur farming, since the beginning of the last century, has
been steadily developing and has achieved some success, annually producing 40–45 million skins, this was the optimum that allowed, along with meeting the needs of the world's population in fur,
to regulate pricing policy.
At the beginning of the XXI century, this balance was disturbed, some countries, such as China,
Denmark, began to increase livestock, which led to overproduction of products, from this the price
of fur fell. In 2020, the pandemic made adjustments, the number of caged fur-bearing animals in
almost all countries sharply decreased. Question: who will have time to occupy the vacant niche?
The role of Russia in this period.
