Cheap Bulgarian Firewood a Hot Item in Greece

Greece’s economic crisis is making many people change their lifestyle and shopping habits. Now they are turning to neighboring Bulgaria to buy cheap firewood, a report on Greece’s imports shows, looking for alternative sources of fuel as taxes have pushed heating oil prices up so high many people can’t afford to buy it and they are stocking up on wood for the coming winter.
The Greek newspaper Proto Thema wrote that the Bulgarian firewood is another example of how Greeks are searching for cheaper goods wherever they can because of a crisis that has seen workers’ pay cut 30 percent or more, taxes hikes and pensions slashed.
Representative of one of  Greece’s biggest companies dealing with firewood imports told the Bulgarian news agency BTA that their company is sending about two trucks with firewood to Greece daily. She added that Greeks’ orders for firewood could fill 12 trucks each day but bureaucratic problems are limiting how much can be shipped into the country.
