# Securing the vitality of food production

# Securing the vitality of food production





Valio exists for its owners. We create value for the milk produced by Finnish dairy farms and for their work by processing raw materials into products that are successful both domestically and internationally. When you choose a Valio product, you are supporting domestic food production and jobs across Finland.





## Vitality for all of Finland

Valio has strong cooperative roots. We are a company founded by dairy farmers and owned by dairy farms through Valio’s regional cooperatives. We also want to do our part to ensure that milk continues to be produced in Finland in the future. We support the expertise and operational continuity of dairy farmers.

We are a major employer, and Valio’s success is built on committed, capable and healthy Valio employees.

Choosing domestic products ensures that food production will remain in Finland also in the long-term: primary production will remain vital, manufacturing expertise will remain high, and production plants will continue to operate.
