The reputation of Iceland as a mink-rearing country has apparently made its way to Denmark. A group of Danes came to Iceland in August to familiarise themselves with the mink situation in the country, and one Danish family with connections to Iceland has already purchased a “minkhouse” in Skagafjörður. They hope to bring the facility into operation by the summer.

Einar Eðvald Einarsson, a specialist in breeding of furry animals, says that Icelandic breeders have already started seeing good results, and get good prices for the skins. Danes see the minks as a little superior, however.
