Statistics on the finances of agricultural and forestry enterprises

Producer:	Statistics Finland
Data:	Latest release: Private forest owners' income from wood trade grew further in 2011 11 Apr 2013 Between 2006 and 2011, an average of 100,000 private forest owners gained yearly income from wood trade. There was considerable variation between the years. In the most active year of wood trade, 2007, around 119,000 owners earned a total of EUR 1.88 billion from wood trade, while in the quietest year, 2009, about 84,000 traders made in all only EUR 0.94 billion. In 2011, taxable income from wood trade in private forests was close to EUR 1.5 billion. Farmers accounted for roughly 32 per cent of forest owners' income from wood trade. In contrast, active farmers earned 38 per cent of income from purchases for delivery. These data derive from the 2011 statistics on the finances of agricultural and forestry enterprises published by Statistics Finland. Next release: Statistical releases will not be issued in English from these statistics in 2013.
Description:	The statistics on the finances of agricultural and forestry enterprises replace the agricultural enterprise and income statistics produced from 1973 to 2004 as well as the agricultural income and tax statistics. The new statistics are published only on Statistics Finland’s Internet pages. The first reference year of the statistics is 2005. The statistics describe the economic activity and structure of agricultural and forestry enterprises operating in Finland. The main sources of data for the statistics are tax data on farm enterprises, the Farm Register and a direct statistical survey aimed at farms. Agriculture and forestry are examined separately. The data are classified e.g. by area, production sector and farm size category. Read full description >>>
