The peak tourist season and the heat of the summer, the major supermarkets in Spain posted a notice: this year's restrictions on ice cubes

Affected by the conflict of Russia and Ukraine, Spain's energy supply was extremely tight, and the price of fuel costs and electricity costs soared, which greatly affected the lives of factories and citizens. Under the constraints of government energy conservation policies, some factories are restricted to use electricity, and even if they want to make ice cubes overtime, they cannot be implemented. Coupled with the increase in oil prices, various reasons have caused Spain to face the dilemma of ice cubes.

It is reported that Spain has experienced rare high temperatures since May this year. In August, the temperature in central Spain was even as high as 45 ° C to 48 ° C. In the case of high temperature but unbearable but ice cubes, Mercadona, one of Spain's largest chain supermarkets, stipulates that each customer can only buy 5 bags of ice cubes a day, while some small supermarkets stipulate that each person is restricted to one bag per day. In order to solve the problem of ice cubes, many restaurants and bars have to make ice cubes by themselves to meet the needs of customers. As a result, the sales of ice -making machines also have unprecedented good performance. (Wang Fang)
