Denmark

Denmark is a post—industrial country with a high level of development. The Danish economy is a modern market system that includes a high—tech economy, modern small and large industrial enterprises, extensive state support measures, a high standard of living, as well as high dependence on foreign trade.

Denmark is poor in minerals, so it depends on the external market. However, in terms of energy resources, Denmark is completely self-sufficient. Denmark produces oil and natural gas (in recent years oil has been discovered offshore in the North Sea and in the south of Jutland), and energy is also generated through wind and bioenergy.

The share of industry in national income is more than 40%. Leading industries: metalworking, mechanical engineering (especially shipbuilding), electrical and electronic, food, chemical, pulp and paper, textile.

Denmark ranks first in the world in terms of food production per capita. More than 80% of agricultural products produced in the country are exported.

In agriculture, the leading role belongs to meat-and-dairy animal husbandry. Danish dairy cattle (mainly Holstein and Red Danish breeds) are highly productive and occupy a leading position in Europe in terms of breeding qualities. Pig farming is also developed.

Fishing occupies an important place.

The main industries are mechanical engineering, food, chemical, and medical industries. Previously, the most important industry in Denmark was shipbuilding, but due to foreign competition, the activities of many large shipyards ceased.

The production of medical equipment and the pharmaceutical industry is developed.
