E-yearbook of food and natural resource statistics for 2016 : Statistical facts on agriculture, forestry, fisheries and hunting in Finland

The e-yearbook of food and natural resource statistics is an annual compilation published by the Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke). This is Luke’s second publication of this kind. The publication covers the most important Finnish food and natural resource statistics and links them to our online statistical database. The publication contains bioeconomy and natural resource statistics on agriculture and the food processing industry, the forest sector, and the game and fisheries industry. Luke’s statistical e-yearbook is available in the Natural Resources Institute Finland’s statistics portal at http://stat.luke.fi/en/. A traditional printed version can be ordered via the Natural Resources Institute Finland’s online shop. The online publication is designed to serve as a regularly updated digital service, easily accessible via the online portal. Links to tables in the online service provide access to up-to-date statistics. Instructions on using the statistics database are available in our online portal. The editor-in-chief of this yearbook was Development Manager Tarja Kortesmaa, and the text was edited by Senior Communications specialist Aimo Jokela. Several of Luke’s statistical experts and researchers contributed to the contents and analyses presented in the publication. The layout was designed by Publication specialist Irene Murtovaara and the infographics by Graphic Design specialist Essi Puranen. I would like to thank everyone who contributed to this publication and to Luke’s statistics in general for their excellent work and know-how.
