The value of Finland’s forest industry exports was over 950 million Euros in October, accounting for 16 percent of overall national exports.The Finnish forest industry exports more than 90 percent of its production. According to the Forest Industries Federation, the operating environment must continue to develop and regenerate in order for exports to thrive in the future as well. Factors of particular importance for the operating environment of the forest industry are the supply and price of wood and energy, functioning and cost-effective logistics as well as the availability and cost of labour, the federation writes in a press release.
