Denmark permanently ends its mink farming industry

Denmark has officially decided to end its mink farming industry permanently. The Ministry of Agriculture confirmed the decision. Denmark will not seek an exemption from the upcoming ban across the European Union. The ban is based on animal welfare and public health concerns. This step brings a final close to Danish mink production.

The industry historically served as a major export link between Denmark and China. Chinese buyers were long key partners for Danish fur auctions. This permanent closure completes the phase-out of the sector. The news was reported by CP24.
