The Common Reed Pioneer - Premium Finnish Reed

Bringing Common Reed into Our Daily Life

The complete value chain, from harvesting to processing, led by industry pioneers.

There’s been a lot of discussion around using reed in recent years, but coordinated efforts to advance this cause haven’t yet led to a breakthrough. Now is the time.

Can a reed market be created? Yes. It’s simply a matter of cost and the demand or necessity of the product or service. This requires risk-taking, support, and a clear vision – and that’s where Ruokomestarit comes in.

The use of common reed has been hindered by isolated operations: processing is simply too costly and cumbersome. We aim to provide a seamless, cost-effective turnkey solution for reed harvesting, processing, and logistics.

Comprehensive Reed Solutions from a Single Provider

Reed is a renewable natural resource with immense potential: it’s suitable as both a building material and a source of bioenergy. Our core mission is to explore and develop opportunities for more efficient utilization of reed—bringing it from the margins into everyday use.

In practice, this means we conduct both winter and summer harvesting, processing the collected material into functional products. We also manage the logistics ourselves.

Driving Innovation with In-House Product Development

From ideas to tangible products! Proper harvesting is, in itself, a restorative action, but we take it further: we develop our own products for the international reed market, collaborating with partners in Denmark, Estonia, the Netherlands, and Sweden to serve both nature and industry.

At the heart of it all is the responsible use of natural resources and the protection of ecosystems.
