Countries don't hunt whales. Companies hunt whales and they do it for the same reasons they always do things, to make money.
For food, although in earlier times before the discovery of drilling for crude oil, their blubber was by far the main source of oil and tallow (a key ingredient in soap, wax, and many other things) for the entire world.
