The chairman of the Estonian Sheep Farmers' Association, Rainis Ruusamae, told BNS that their
association is renting the slaughter unit from the Estonian Farmers'
Federation. The investment by the Estonian Sheep Farmers' Association in the
project totals 40,000-50,000 euros.
"Everyone from southeastern Estonia can come to us," Ruusamae
said.
The slaughter unit that has been standing idle since its acquisition in
2013 has capacity for the slaughter of 40 sheep, 10 bovine animals and 40 goats
per day.
The mobile slaughter unit was bought from Finland in 2013 after a study
commissioned by the Ministry of Agriculture from the Estonian Academy of
Life Sciences had found such a unit to be necessary. It has since come out that
the slaughter unit is not economically feasible operating as a mobile unit.
