Lithuania looking for replacement of Belarusian lumber

Lithuania has already begun to worry about the next heating season. Against the background of European sanctions, the country is forced to look for a replacement for the Belarusian wood. The Ministry of Environment has set a task to find new sources of biofuel. By the way, last year Lithuania imported 942 thousand cubic meters of wood chips from Belarus . And this is almost a quarter of the volume of biofuel consumed in boiler houses. Therefore, a refusal from the Belarusian products will have a significant impact on the market.

And if the shortage of wood is a distant notion, the local residents have already faced a shortage of food products. Lithuanian residents are actively sharing pictures of empty shelves in social networks. Stores are still selling old stocks of food.
