Iceland prepares for vegetable export to Denmark
At present, the idea is to sell Icelandic vegetables in Denmark’s Irma grocers next winter. “Representatives from Irma who’ve tasted our cucumbers and tomatoes say they are particularly flavorsome, and the best they’ve tasted,” Gunnlaugur remarked in an interview with Bændablaðið, a farming industry paper. “Danes are also very taken with the water that is used for their cultivation, since it’s very clean and healthful,” he added.
Gunnlaugur was also pleased to point out that interest in homegrown produce is also on the rise within Iceland. “Another thing worth mentioning on this subject is the greatly increased interest in Icelandic foodstuffs among Icelandic restaurateurs. Icelandic restaurants and cafeterias are increasingly looking to have Icelandic vegetables on offer and that’s fantastic.”
