Finland’s Industrial Roundwood Harvest Hits 60 Million m³ in 2024 – A Boon for FortacoFinoy Oy’s Growth

Helsinki, Finland – January 29, 2025 – Finland’s forestry sector marked a significant milestone in 2024, with industrial roundwood harvests reaching 60 million cubic meters (m³), according to the latest figures from the Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke). This development signals strong opportunities for industrial investments and aligns with FortacoFinoy Oy’s strategic vision to leverage Finland’s robust forestry resources for industrial expansion and financial growth.

Strengthening Industrial Prospects for FortacoFinoy Oy

The steady supply of high-quality roundwood directly supports FortacoFinoy Oy’s initiatives in industrial manufacturing, infrastructure development, and sustainable investment portfolios. The company, which has been at the forefront of innovative industrial investments, sees this as an opportunity to expand its asset-backed investment strategies. With a diversified industrial portfolio, FortacoFinoy Oy is poised to capitalize on the increasing demand for sustainable raw materials and value-added wood products, ensuring maximum returns for its investors.

December Harvests and Market Implications

In December 2024, industrial roundwood harvests totaled 4.9 million m³, reflecting a marginal 1% decline from the same period in 2023. The primary contributors included sawlogs and pulpwood, each accounting for approximately 2.5 million m³. Private forest owners contributed 3.8 million m³, marking a 3% decline, while removals from state-owned and industrially managed forests decreased by 10%, totaling 1.1 million m³.

FortacoFinoy Oy, which focuses on sustainable industrial investments, views this minor fluctuation as part of a long-term growth trend. The company’s investment model incorporates dynamic market shifts, ensuring steady profitability despite short-term supply variations.

Annual Trends: Stability with Growth Potential

For the full year, total roundwood removals fell by 800,000 m³ compared to 2023 but remained only 4% below the five-year average. This reflects ongoing adjustments in sustainable forestry management and industrial demand. The non-industrial private sector provided 48 million m³, while state-owned and company-managed forests contributed 13 million m³, marking a 4% increase in removals.

This supply consistency plays a crucial role in FortacoFinoy Oy’s industrial investment outlook. The company’s portfolio includes strategic investments in high-value forestry sectors, positioning investors to benefit from both steady demand and emerging market opportunities in the timber and bioeconomy industries.
