March 21, 2025

Greenland is witnessing a surge in tourism, fueled by renewed international attention following remarks by former U.S. President Donald Trump and a wave of new infrastructure projects. The opening of Nuuk’s new international airport has significantly improved access, with direct flights from New York set to begin in June.

Key Facts

14% rise in international arrivals: Statistics Greenland reported a sharp increase in January year-on-year.
Hotel stays surged: 355,000 nights recorded last year, up from 210,000 in 2014.
Nuuk Airport opened in November, streamlining travel and bypassing layovers in Copenhagen and Kangerlussuaq.
Ilulissat and Qaqortoq to get international airports, further boosting accessibility.
Three-quarters of tour operators saw increased bookings after Nuuk Airport’s opening.

The Bigger Picture

Greenland’s tourism momentum comes amid U.S. interest in the Arctic island’s rare earth minerals, critical for high-tech industries. While Trump’s idea of acquiring Greenland sparked controversy, it undeniably placed the region in the global spotlight. The country now aims to diversify its economy—currently 95% dependent on fishing—by leveraging tourism and mining.

by THEFUTURE.TEAM

April 13, 2026

Meat supply increased ahead of Easter 2026, with prices remaining broadly stable despite higher seasonal demand, according to data from slaughterhouses and the Consumer Protection Service Price Observatory. Market data show higher volumes of lamb and pork alongside limited price increases across key categories.

Strong Supply And Price Stability

Recent data indicate increased meat supply compared to the same period last year, supporting availability during peak demand. Higher volumes helped limit price increases across most product categories. Stable supply conditions contributed to controlled pricing despite seasonal pressure on demand.

Enhanced Competition With Greek Lamb Imports

Market supply was supported by the import of 4,000 lambs from Greece, increasing availability and competition. Additional supply contributed to price stability across lamb products. Domestic production adjusted as imports increased, with 2,105 fewer lambs processed locally on Great Tuesday compared to the previous year.

Dynamic Production Trends In Meat Processing

A total of 19,883 lambs were slaughtered over the past six days, marking a 6% increase compared to the same period last year. Pork production also increased, with 10,655 pigs processed versus 9,452 a year earlier, representing a 13% rise. Higher output across categories reflects increased supply ahead of the holiday period.

Price Adjustments In Key Meat Categories

The average price for locally sourced lamb reached €14.10 per kg, up 4.76% compared to last year. Pork prices declined, with tenderloin averaging €5.97 per kg (-4.47%) and neck cut €6.16 per kg (-1.62%). Poultry remained stable at €4.16 per kg, recording a marginal decrease of 0.05%, maintaining its position as the lowest-cost option.

Overall Cost Implications For The Festive Table

An indicative Easter table for eight people is estimated at €186.42 in 2026 for 19 basic products, compared to €179.36 in 2025, reflecting a 3.9% increase. Meat prices had a limited impact on the increase. Higher costs were driven by vegetables, with tomatoes rising by 81.73% and cucumbers by 42.24%. Prices for fresh potatoes and olive oil declined by 12% to 19%, partially offsetting overall costs.
