Ülle Rajasalu pointed out the cost of transport as one of the examples of the inevitable increase in operating costs. “Due to transport limitations and the closing of timber industries, both average transport distances and the number of trips have increased, which is why transport costs alone are MEEK 71 higher in the budget for next year than they were this year,” she explained.
Puidutööstuste sulgemise ja transpordipiirangute tõttu on nii keskmised veokaugused kui sõitude arv suurenenud, mistõttu ainuüksi transpordikulud on järgmise aasta eelarves 71 miljoni võrra tänavusest kõrgemad, selgitas ta.
