Estonian Minister of Regional Development and Agriculture, Hendrik Terras, suggested purchasing wild boar meat from local hunters to manufacture canned food for the national military, offering aid to Ukraine
Minister Hendrik Terras of Estonia has proposed an unconventional approach to aid Ukraine, amidst an outbreak of African Swine Fever (ASF) in the country. The plan involves the use of wild boar meat, which is currently being sourced from Estonian hunters in response to the ASF outbreak.
The ASF outbreak, affecting swine including wild boars, has led to a significant decrease in the wild boar population in Estonia. This decrease has provided an opportunity for the Minister to help Ukraine indirectly. The Minister's proposal aims to provide assistance to Ukraine by using the wild boar meat for the production of canned food.
The canned food production is a part of the Minister's plan to aid Ukraine. The proposed use of the wild boar meat is for the production of canned food, which will then be provided to the local army of Estonia. The organisation responsible for this is the Estonian Defence Forces.
It's important to note that the ASF outbreak is not a food safety issue for humans. The food supply for humans in Estonia remains unaffected by the outbreak. Similarly, the production of canned food for the local army is not affected by the ASF outbreak.
The ASF outbreak is not limited to wild boars in Estonia. However, due to the outbreak, wild boars are being shot in large numbers. The wild boar meat will be sourced from these hunters.
This plan presents a unique approach to providing support to Ukraine. The Minister's plan to help Ukraine is not a reason to change course due to the ASF outbreak. The canned food production is a part of the Minister's ongoing efforts to aid Ukraine.
