Economy

Denmark was considered to have no natural resources for a long time, but the discovery of oil and gas changed all this! We started exporting them in 1991.Our farmers are very efficient and Denmark is a leading agricultural producer.Denmark is the only country in northern Europe with much farmland.

Agricultural products account for a large share of our exports.Though industry is the main employer, many factories are engaged in food processing, particularly dairy and meat products like butter,cheese, bacon, sausages and ham.

Our location in the North Sea has allowed us to develop a large fishing fleet.Esjberg and Skagen are our two main fishing ports.Denmarks coastline offers many possibilities.There are lots of calm-water fjords and protected seas.
