Kruuse: MES should help farmers affected by E-Piim's difficulties
Urmas Kruuse emphasizes the need for state intervention to support farmers impacted by E-Piim's financial troubles during a meeting of the Agricultural Committee.
Urmas Kruuse, the chairman of the agricultural committee in Estonia's parliament, has called for state support through the Rural Life Promotion Foundation (MES) for farmers who have suffered due to financial difficulties facing E-Piim. The urgency of this support was highlighted during an emergency meeting where they received insights from Anti Orav, the CEO of E-Piim, regarding the current state of production. Kruuse pointed out the critical importance of investing in Estonia's dairy production and export capabilities, particularly in light of signals of E-Piim's potential bankruptcy filing.
