The Borrower has offers from the commodity producers and holders. The average buying price is estimated in a range of 10 - 14 EUR.

The fur trading business is among the oldest in the world. While the first official auction houses appeared in the 19th century, the origins of organized activity can be traced back to the 16th century The largest commodity in the fur market is mink. It constitutes more than 95% of fur capitalization. Mink is a generally accepted commodity with its main characteristics: male/female, size, and color. In 2020 the market is estimated to turn around 24 million units with a capitalization of 720 million USD. As of 2019, the largest auction houses in Europe - Kopenhagen Fur, Saga Furs, Sojuzpushnina - have combined Revenues of 1+ billion EUR.
In March of 2020, Auction houses stopped funding mink farms, creating an unprecedented situation in the market - all activities had stopped. Due to Covid-19, many farmers had liquidated their mink farms or could not upkeep their stock and were forced to sell their assets. Denmark ordered to liquidate all mink stock causing the price to rise significantly (Denmark is the biggest manufacturer of the highest quality mink fur in the world). Therefore the market lost one of the biggest players. On February 24th of 2022 war between Russia and Ukraine (both were also top manufacturers in the world) created another huge impact on the market - farmers in Ukraine let their stock out of cages and Russia, affected by economic sanctions, is now limited in its international operations.
As of 2022, some of the biggest fur manufacturer countries in the world (Denmark, Russia, and Ukraine) are out of business, it is expected that fur will become more exclusive and expensive. Thus, the investment opportunity is to buy the commodity at a discount price, hold for 1-1.5 years and sell it at the maximum available prices.
