«This year, more than 3.1 million cubic meters of firewood have already been supplied domestically. We see growth compared to last year's level of over 200 thousand cubic meters. People are actively preparing for the heating season. I think this is not the limit; there will still be serious consumption», said Sergey Ul'dinovich.

He noted that today there are no problems with purchasing firewood. «We are doing everything to make it easier for people to do this. Starting October 1, firewood can be ordered online. No need to go to the forestry office. Any citizen, whether at home, at work, or anywhere else, can visit the website and submit an online application. To monitor timeliness and fulfillment of applications, logs are being formed, including overdue applications — this aspect will be tracked in more detail using technical capabilities. Moreover, we have recently observed an increase in demand for split firewood. Therefore, we set ourselves the task of increasing the output volume of this product. If necessary, we will purchase equipment, install it, to meet demand», added the minister of forestry.
