Denmark to phase out mink farming by 2029, no EU exception sought

Denmark announced it will not seek an exception from the EU's ban on mink farming, phasing out the industry by August 2029. This follows the 2020 culling of 15 million mink after a mutated coronavirus variant was detected, which triggered a political crisis and new elections. The decision marks a definitive end to a once-major industry, with implications for Danish agriculture and EU policy alignment.
