Annual turnover of rural enterprises

The turnover of rural enterprises increased in the rural areas of the whole country and Mainland Finland, except in rural areas close to cities, in 2018 compared to the previous year. The total turnover of large rural enterprises almost tripled, while the number of large enterprises increased by about 40%.

The combined turnover of enterprises in rural areas has increased in other provinces except Häme, Southeast Finland and Åland from 2017 to 2018. Total turnover increased relatively the most in Central Finland, Satakunta and Uusimaa.

The indicator measures the development of the annual turnover of enterprises by business size and type of rural area.

Statistics Finland produces information about the annual turnover of rural enterprises.

This is one of the national impact indicators of the 2014–2020 Rural Development Programme for Mainland Finland.

The indicator will next be updated in spring 2022.
