Greece's fur coat industry, suffering from a drought of Russian buyers, is terrified that the sanction tit-for-tat between Moscow and the West over Ukraine could destroy its business altogether.

Despite its hot Mediterranean climate, Greece sold 136,446 fur coats worth 108 million euros ($140 million) to Russia in 2012 — 23 percent of its total exports to the country, RIA Novosti reported, citing the Greek statistics agency.

Export volumes fell to 86 million euros in 2013, but this year is looking worse.
