The fruit and vegetable processing production value in Finland stood at 497.0 million Euros in 2023. Over the past decade, this sector has exhibited notable fluctuations, with significant growth in 2015 and 2017, and a marked drop in 2016 and 2020. The last two years show a moderate increase of approximately 2.9% annually, indicating a gradual recovery and stabilization.
