Due to the economic advantages of running larger productions, the Norwegian entities are growing larger as the production develops and every day work is made easier by the use of new equipment. Still, Norwegian farms have a long way to go before they reach the level of farms in other fur producing countries.  

Rural areas
Most Norwegian fur farms are situated in rural areas where jobs are hard to find. The farmers breed fur animals in addition to other production, such as milk, meat or grain. Many of them would have had great difficulties in living off the farm without the additional income given by fur production.
