Beyond Turkey Plucking

The chairman of the construction company Re&Re Ainars Paunins said in an interview with Dienas Bizness that Latvian construction has opportunities abroad. Latvia's Building Association president Edgars Lazo confirmed that indeed Latvian-quality construction could find a natural home abroad in markets such as UN refugee camps in sub-Saharan Africa which already use exacting Latvian standards. "The skills of Latvians definitely goes well beyond just plucking turkeys and picking strawberries," said Lazo in a prepared statement. "We can build wooden cages for those turkeys and boxes to transport those strawberries."
