Jan 04, 2011. /Lesprom Network/. The value of the Finnish forest industry's exports in January-October 2010 was Euro 8.9 billion, which is 22% more than during the corresponding period of 2009. The value of forest industry exports was over Euro 950 million in October, accounting for 16% of overall national exports, as the Finnish Forest Industries Federation said in a press release received by Lesprom Network. The Finnish forest industry exports more than 90% of its production. The operating environment must continue to develop and regenerate in order for exports to thrive in 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.
