TALLINN, 14 January 2026 – The Estonian Stockpiling Agency has so far been unable to meet the target set by the Government of the Republic to guarantee food stocks for the entire population for 14 days, but has set itself a more moderate target of guaranteeing food stocks for one tenth of the population for a month, with the knowledge of the supervisory board. The National Audit Office sees it as a problem that the food stocks target of “food for 10 percent for 30 days” is not linked to any specific crisis scenario, which makes it impossible to assess the adequacy of these stocks for one crisis or another. Different institutions should be on the same page when building up food stocks, ensuring that the size of the stocks complies with crisis scenarios and that distributing the stocks is also practised.
