During his visit to Beijing, the Danish Minister of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries, Jacob Jensen, signed three important protocols with the General Administration of Customs of China on barley, horse feed and wild aquatic products.
This is significant for wild aquatic products, as one of the new protocols no longer requires access to wild aquatic products by species, opening up easier access for wild catch aquatic products from Denmark and Greenland to the Chinese market. All wild-caught aquatic products from Denmark and Greenland are now eligible for market access for export to China under a protocol, greatly simplifying the market access process for Danish and Greenlandic wild aquatic exporters.
In 2024, all kinds of seafood, including fish, became Denmark’s most exported food to China, accounting for 35% of total food exports. Over the years, Denmark’s food exports to China have been enriched to cover seafood such as fish, pork, dairy products, innovative food ingredients and many other fields.
