Weather fluctuations in Finland have affected strawberry production this year resulting in a lower harvest, the producers said.

Kostamo, who owns half a dozen strawberry fields on about seven acres of land by the Rovaniemi-Kuusamo road in Tennilä, about 45 kilometres from Rovaniemi, however, said, although the production was not satisfactory, the quality of the strawberry this year was quite okay.

Also, raw strawberries this season were infected by gray moulds due to the drought, which too put a negative impact on the production, said sources at the Fruits and Berry Farmers’ Union.
