Namibia Pelts in Demand: "Namibia's Swakara pelts, which sold for record prices at the Copen-hagen Auction, have left buyers crying for more.
Agra says the buyers expressed disappointment over the quantities available at the auction and urged Swakara farmers to increase their production significantly.
The pelts went for a record price at the Copenhagen Fur auction. For the first time ever, 72 Swakara Black D selected super pelts sold for N$643 per pelt, the highest price ever achieved.
Out of a large number of potential buyers from Eng-land, Italy, Germany, Spain, USA, Greece, Israel and Japan, only 25 were eventual successful bidders for the limited number of skins on offer.
Although there are 800 communal and commercial karakul farmers in the country, it is unlikely that the industry will see the production it witnessed 30 years ago."
