Minister of Agriculture in Estonia suggests manufacturing canned pork from pigs that have been shot, with the purpose being to provide it for the military needs and Ukrainian Armed Forces.
In a bid to respond to the African swine fever outbreak that has been spreading with high intensity, the Minister of Agriculture of Estonia, Cem Özdemir, has proposed a unique solution. The minister has pledged a donation of half a million cans of game meat to Ukraine to support its army and armed forces.
The African swine fever has taken a toll on Estonia, leading to the unfortunate death of 17,000 individuals due to the disease. As a result, the number of wild animals being shot in Estonia has increased significantly. The minister's proposal comes as a potential solution to this problem, as Estonia could purchase 30% of the total meat of wild animals shot in Estonia from hunters.
This proposal is not only a response to the needs of Ukraine but also a potential response to the African swine fever outbreak in Estonia. The canned meat, intended for a national food parcel, is seen as a way to help Ukraine, a country currently facing its own challenges due to the outbreak of the disease.
The minister's proposal to supply canned meat from shot pigs to the army and Armed Forces of Ukraine is not without controversy. However, it is a move that showcases the solidarity between nations in times of crisis. The country reporting this news is ERR.
It remains to be seen how this proposal will be received and whether it will become a reality. But one thing is certain - the African swine fever continues to pose a significant challenge, and innovative solutions like this one may hold the key to overcoming it.
