Karttakeskus, the GIS service unit of Affecto, will be responsible for delivering the services. The cooperation between Karttakeskus and the Finnish Agency for Rural Affairs has begun already in year 2000. The agreement signed today covers the years 2014-2016. Additionally the agreement includes two optional years continuing until spring 2018. The value of the services is estimated to be approx. 2 million Euros per year. Paying farmers the support payments financed by European Union, requires the member states to ensure a reliable identification of land parcels. The basic idea of the Finnish Land Parcel Identification register is to guarantee that the support payments are paid by correct acreage. Furthermore, the register produces comparison acreages in order to help the administration to check the land sizes reported by the farmers.

Karttakeskus offers GIS consultation and location analytics, IT solutions, digital navigation and map services and outsourcing services.
