LEADER programme

LEADER Eesti

The LEADER programme supports Eesti Metsameistri Taimekasvatus OÜ in purchasing two Easyart polytunnels and an Egedal Transplanter planting machine, and in building the base for the polytunnels.

Funds from measure 4.1 of the Estonian Rural Development Plan 2014–2020 support Eesti Metsameistri Taimekasvatus OÜ in acquiring sprinkler and irrigation equipment, a greenhouse climate control system, a pest monitoring and warning system, an electric generator, a fertiliser dosing unit, and cassettes and frames for growing forest tree seedlings.

Measure 4.1 of the Rural Development Plan 2014–2020 also supports the purchase and installation of a seed sowing line (with a growing-substrate bale breaker) and an irrigation and plant protection boom, as well as building a fence around the forest nursery and a greenhouse for growing forest tree seedlings.

The aim of the investment is to expand production capacity by growing potted plants in addition to bare-root plants, which will also improve the company's performance.
