Denmark to ban mink farming by 2029
Reported byBBC ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Denmark's government reversed its earlier exemption-seeking position and decided to end mink farming by August 2029, following an EU-wide ban on keeping mink after they were classified as an invasive species in 2025. The country will phase out its seven remaining mink farms over a two-year transition period.
The closure involves an estimated cost of around 14 million Danish krone (£1.56m), though the final amount could be higher.
