Professor Glavonjic advises: Buy pellets on time and throughout the year to save
Professor Branko Glavonjic from the Faculty of Forestry told citizens today to start procuring wood pellets on time throughout the year and to spread out purchases by month in order to distribute costs more evenly and reduce the impact on the household budget.
TL;DR
- Citizens should purchase wood pellets throughout the entire year and spread out purchases by month.
- The best time to buy pellets is from April to July when they are most available and prices are lowest.
- Demand for pellets increased significantly from October last year to mid-January this year due to rising electricity prices.
- Pellet prices have decreased by two to six thousand dinars depending on the location.
- A surge in demand and limited supply capacity caused pellet shortages and price increases.
- Production and capacities for pellets are stable, but the raw material base is limited, and raw material and logistics costs significantly impact pellet prices.
- All types of fuel, including pellets, should be purchased evenly throughout the year for more favorable prices.
- There is enough raw material, and production is stable in state forests.
