Metsä Group Implements Fixed AI Pricing for Forest Management in Finland
What happened
Metsä Group began implementing a new nationwide fixed pricing model for young stand management work in Finland in September 2026. This model replaces the previous matrix pricing system used across the country. The fixed pricing is calculated using an AI application that analyzes satellite imagery and geospatial datasets to determine the site's workload. This allows the final price to be provided to forest owners at the offer stage, increasing predictability and transparency.
