Economy of Qaqortoq

JuteVilla
Qaqortoq is a seaport and trading station. Fish and shrimp processing, tanning, fur production, and ship maintenance and repair are important activities, but the economy is based primarily on educational and administrative services. The primary industries in the town are fishing, service, and administration.

The native subsistence economy was long preserved by the former monopoly Royal Greenland Trading Department, which used the town as a source of saddle-back seal skins. Today, the Great Greenland Furhouse remains one of the major employers in the town and is the primary sealskin purchaser on the island
