Is there an end to price increases: The Middle East could raise pellet prices, should you buy them now?
The end of winter is approaching calendar-wise, and as meteorologists have announced, another wave of significant cooling is expected in the coming days, which will involve the need for heating.
TL;DR
- Consumers are advised to buy heating pellets for the next winter season now, rather than waiting for peak demand.
- Current prices are more favorable, with producers selling at around 250 euros per ton (approx. 31,000 dinars), while last year prices reached up to 48,000 dinars.
- Retailers significantly increased prices last season, with some charging up to 47,000 dinars per ton.
- Raw material shortages last winter, caused by adverse weather, limited production capacity.
- The global energy situation may lead to future price increases for various energy sources, including pellets.
