Collaboration and innovation – naturally
The mentality of Ranua and the unique nature of the area can be summarized to the golden treasure found in the region – cloudberry. Cloudberries can be found on swamps, and you need to see a bit more effort for picking it up than for the other Finnish berries. This golden delicacy, however, rewards the hard-working as it is one of the most valuable natural berries in Finland, and it contains multiple times more A- and C-vitamins than orange.
Cloudberry describes well the resilience, cleanness and quality which are also features of Ranua municipality
