Estonian officials assured that they would supply dairy products to Japan and other countries instead of Russia. But so far the promise has not materialized, reports Estonian national broadcasters ERR.

According to head of the dairy group Tere Oliver Kruuda, in the last six months the company failed to stabilize the supply of Estonian milk to Japan due to the peculiarities of the local market.

Since sanctions against Russia were implemented, Estonia has tried to replace Russia as the exporter of milk and other dairy products to Japan.

“Over there it is a one delivery system. If you are chosen you will be able to export your product. But to continually deliver on long-term deals, this is not in their structure,” explained Kruuda.

The expert further noted issues with the delivery of dairy products to Lithuania, where local farmers have threatened to cut off supplies of milk across the border.

Earlier, ex-Minister for Foreign Trade, Anne Sulling, said that the export of Estonian milk to Japan will allow local producers to see the “light at the end of the tunnel,” as the dairy industry has been in slump.
