The world’s largest fur tanneries is opening in China to take advantage of a new government policy that will see fur production regulated to a minimum.

The World Fur Association said it will open a factory in Jiangsu province in October to make coats for the 2018 World Cup in Brazil.

The association, which is part of the Confederation of African Football, said the factory will manufacture about 3 million fur coats per year and will employ around 2,500 people.

It will produce about 1 million of the finished coats each year.

The factory will be built in Jiangzhou, capital of Jiangsu, and is being constructed by a Chinese firm.

The factory is expected to begin production in 2021.
