In 1949, members of the fur trade formed the International Fur Trade Federation (IFTF), which brings together national associations from all parts of the world. With 42 member organisations in 35 countries, IFTF includes practically every important fur producing and consuming country. It draws together people from across the full spectrum of the trade: farmers; trappers; auction houses; merchants; brokers; dressers and dyers; manufacturers; wholesalers; marketing organisations and retailers. Through its work, and the activities of members, IFTF seeks to protect fur trade interests and promote innovation, high standards and a positive factual image of fur and the fur industry worldwide.
