The financial and energy crisis in Turkey may have one sad consequence for tourists’ favorite delicacies in the summer season. As stated in Yandex.zen on the channel of Russian expats Antalyaville, the victim of high electricity prices may fall, or rather this process has already gone in full force … ice cream refrigerators. In stores, massively refuse to place them. This means that ice cream itself will also be unavailable at resorts in Turkey, at least in most outlets.
“Huge bills received by consumers after the new year, after the last rise in electricity prices, strained not only private individuals but also businessmen. Owners of small shops began to abandon ice cream refrigerators en masse and give them back to suppliers. The reason is that the content of such refrigerators has become completely unprofitable in terms of the cost of ice cream, “the channel said. At the same time, because extreme cold came to Antalya, and ice cream became more expensive – the demand for it is very low and keep an extra refrigerator for a product that is practically not bought, it is not profitable.

“There are a lot of refrigerators in our stores. We can’t afford them. We already had huge electricity bills, and they will grow exponentially. Today we see that the bills for electricity in the thinnest grocery store are more than 5000-6000 lire. Accounts last month amounted to 2000-2500 lira, “- said the head of the Turkish Platform of Stores (TTBP) Ozgur Aybash.
At the same time, there are no hopes for a return to demand in the season. “We have decided not to sell ice cream in grocery stores across Turkey. This is the reaction of the market, not the punishment of the consumer. We cannot afford such costs. If now the bill is 5-6 thousand lire, then we do not even think about summer. They will be even higher in the summer, “said the Turkish expert.
