Marine Ingredients Denmark draws blue expertise closer to Food Nation
Marine Ingredients Denmark joins Food Nation. The new partnership brings Danish expertise in marine ingredients to the forefront, creating new opportunities to raise international awareness of responsible resource use and sustainable food production.
Marine Ingredients Denmark represents Danish producers of fishmeal and fish oil, transforming marine raw materials into valuable ingredients for aquaculture, livestock feed and pet food. Through responsible sourcing and efficient processing, the industry contributes to better resource utilisation and the supply of essential nutrients to global food systems.
Denmark is the EU’s leading producer of fishmeal and fish oil. In 2025, Danish exports reached approximately DKK 5.8 billion, accounting for 22 per cent of the total value of Denmark’s seafood exports. Around 25% of the industry’s raw materials come from side streams and trimmings from seafood processing, supporting circular production and resource efficiency.
