“There was and still is no shortage of firewood. Firewood is even in a certain surplus. Since the beginning of the year, 2.2 million cubic meters of firewood have been sold for the population and the social sphere. By the end of the year, there will be approximately 2.6 million cubic meters,” Bolokhovets said.
According to him, the current stock of firewood is about 150,000. cubic meters Increased demand is observed in non-gasified regions, in particular in settlements located near national parks, where the limited regime of forest use complicates the delivery of firewood.
At the same time, the prices for “social” firewood practically remained at the level of last year, and the slight increase in cost does not exceed the level of inflation.
Thus, the average price of firewood in forestry is UAH 1,030 per cubic meter, while hard types of wood cost up to UAH 1,080 per cubic meter, and soft ones – about UAH 800 per cubic meter.
Bolokhovets notes that prices may vary depending on the region and logistics costs between settlements and procurement centers.
