Neste Oil, Raisio: calm down the confrontation over fuels vs food

In Finland, Neste Oil and Raisio jointly stated that the two companies believe that the biofuel and food industries share a number of major potential synergies, and that the confrontational view should be discarded.

Looking forward, both companies stated that they believe that it will be possible to make more efficient use of field-based biomass in the future than is the case today. Increasing oilseed rape yields and making more effective use of other biomass produced on arable land would benefit everyone in the food, animal feed, and biofuel industries.
