Finland: Higher Sawnwood Production

Sawnwood production has remained high throughout the year. In the third quarter production totalled 2.9 million cubic metres. As a result of seasonal factors the figure was lower than in the first two quarters but was still up 3.5% on the year before. Production in January-September totalled nearly 10 million cubic metres, which was 2% higher than last year.
