Source: reindeerblog.org
Lapin Liha, Finland’s largest meat processing company, is preparing for import of reindeer meat from Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. 200 – 250 000 kilos will be imported every year, according to Lapin Lihas website.
Reindeerblog.org reports that reindeer meat from the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug will be imported to Finland, through the EU certified slaughterhouse in Yar-Sale, constructed by the Finnish company Kometos OY. Lapin Liha stated to the media that this development is necessary, as there is simply not enough reindeer meat supply in the market in Finland to meet their production goals of 40,000 reindeer per year. Currently the company is processing around 24000 reindeer per year, 3000 of which come from Sweden.
