On 30 June 2026, the Latvian government approved funding of 9 million euros to establish a national food reserve to strengthen the country's preparedness to supply food to its population during crises or state threats. The Ministry of Agriculture (ZM) proposed the funding and plans to amend regulations to delegate the responsibility for creating and maintaining food reserves to the state-owned company SIA “Publisko aktīvu pārvaldītājs Possessor”. This company has experience managing state tasks and reserves. The reserves will include long shelf-life products such as meat and fish canned goods, processed grain products (e.g., flakes, cereals), and ready meal packages. A detailed plan for creating and maintaining these reserves will be developed and coordinated between ZM and Possessor. This initiative is part of Latvia's national resilience and security framework for crisis scenarios.
