Early harvest surprised northern Norway and Sweden this is the situation in Finland

The article discusses the early ripening of cloudberries (hillasato) in northern Norway and Sweden, which has surprised experts due to unusually warm weather and favorable conditions for pollination. In contrast, Finland's cloudberries have not yet matured, with harvesting only just beginning. In northern Finland, particularly in Ranua, there are only a few ripe berries so far, though experienced picker Lenna Takarautio believes a moderate harvest might still occur. The Finnish Natural Resources Institute (Luke) had previously predicted a poor harvest this year, but Takarautio remains slightly more optimistic. Experts note that while there have been more flowers than usual, the weather during the critical pollination period was not ideal, limiting the potential for a bountiful harvest. Meanwhile, in northern Scandinavia, the early bloom has already led to active picking.
