Exports
Greenland is the largest island in the world almost entirely covered by permanent ice sheet. The Greenland is a mixed economy, the main sectors being the public sector and foreign trade. The country is dependent on the fishing industry and fish exports. In this context, fish and shrimp processing constitute the main source of income for the country. The Royal Greenland is the center of the fish production and it is the largest wholesaler of cold-water crustaceans.
Greenland had rich natural resources: metals (nickel, copper, silver, iron, uranium, molybdenum, platinum), coal deposits and diamonds – which are not explored at the moment. The country is expected to be one of the future largest mining industries in the world.
The agricultural sector is not an important part of the Greenland's economy, as only 1 percent of its territory is arable. The main crops cultivated in Greenland are carrots, potatoes, apples, cauliflower, strawberries and cabbage.
Animal husbandry consists mainly of sheep farming, which provides meat for local consumption and wool for export.
The top exports of Greenland are crustaceans and processed crustaceans, processed fish, fish fillets, non-fillet frozen fish, raw materials (gold), sheepskin and wool. The major export partners are Iceland, Japan, Denmark, China and Portugal.
