Share of organic farms in Finland 2010-2017

Share of organic farms in Finland from 2010 to 2017

The data displays the share of organic farms in Finland from 2010 to 2017. Over the survey period, the share of organic farms increased annually. According to the preliminary figures and estimations, organic farms were projected to account for nearly 10% of all farms in Finland by the end of 2017. This would indicate an increase of nearly 1% from 2016. In Finland, cold winters limit crop production potential but decrease the need for pesticides. Due to rainfall during summer months, irrigation is needed only occasionally.
