As writes edition "Zhytomyr-online", this is a golden time for traders of this product. According to journalists, the current preparation for the heating season has “added fuel to the fire”: people are frightened by the war in the east of the country and possible “gas starvation”, so many people are building stove heating and stocking up on firewood just in case.
“The demand for stove cast iron (stoves, doors, grates, etc.) has doubled compared to last year; potbelly stoves are also selling well,” said the sales consultant. – And this despite the fact that prices, in particular for castings, have increased by 50-60%. The geography of the buyer of this product has changed dramatically. If previously castings were bought mainly by residents of rural areas, now our “strategic” buyers are Zhytomyr residents who live in the private sector.”
As PolitNavigator reported, Ukrainian energy companies previously announced a coal shortage.
