Cornerstone of the Finnish economy
Sawn timber was Finland’s fourth most important export item in 2021: its export value was EUR 2.8 billion. Sawmills utilise one third of the roundwood harvested in Finland annually, paying two thirds of forest owners’ stumpage earnings.
Sawn timber is a product that binds the carbon stored in forests for as long as centuries.

Metsäministereiden julkilausuma on tarpeellinen kannanotto ja ylipäätänsä tärkeää yhteistyötä. EU:ssa pitäisi panostaa puun saatavuuden ja kustannuskilpailukyvyn parantamiseen, ei heikentämiseen. Meillä on hyvät edellytykset kestävään kasvuun!
