Estonia can provide up to €3 million in investment support to pig producers to help prevent African swine fever. The European Commission reviewed the aid scheme and raised no objections, meaning Estonia may move ahead with the support program through the end of 2026. The measure affects Estonian swine and pig producers. Eligible producers may receive aid covering up to 60% of qualifying prevention-related costs, with the Agricultural Registers and Information Board responsible for granting the support.
