A corresponding agreement was signed by Dr. Juha Marttila, president of the Central Union of Agricultural Producers and Forest Owners (MTK), and Dr. Christian Göke, chief executive officer of Berlin GmbH. The "Land of a Thousand Lakes" has been at world’s largest consumer exhibition for agriculture, the food industry and horticulture since 1980. The IGW 2019 will take place on the Berlin Exhibition Grounds (Berlin ExpoCenter) from 18 to 27 January 2019. Finland specialises in arctic agriculture and has succeeded in breeding strains that thrive in the bright sunlight of cool summers. Thus, there is worldwide demand for Finnish oats due to their special quality and properties. Finland is currently one of the world’s largest producers and exporters of oats. Where cattle farming is concerned, Finland has made great efforts to ensure the protection of health and livestock.
Finland is the EU’s northernmost agricultural state. Its farming areas extend from the 60th parallel in the country’s south to the lakelands of Central and Eastern Finland, and to the wilderness of Lapland above the Arctic Circle. Clean air, water and soil along with dark, cold winters and summers when the sun never sets make Finland a country of unique and pure flavours from the fields, stables, forests and lakes. Finland’s food sector specialises in innovative food and drink products whose high quality can be attributed to the country’s clean water, air and soil. Finland is known as the ’Land of a Thousand Lakes’. However, 70 per cent of its land surface is covered in sustainably managed forests. These are a source of innovative and sustainable products as well as outstanding seasonal products from the wild, while acting as a carbon sink and offering excellent recreational opportunities.
