Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, the market volume for coniferous wood fuel in Honduras consistently declined, falling from 2.7 million m³ to 2.6 million m³. This reduction was primarily driven by ongoing pressure on coniferous forests due to logging for agriculture, use as fuel by local communities, and a high rate of illegal harvesting, which undermined the sustainability of forest resources.

Biotic factors such as bark beetle outbreaks in 2021 and forest fires further diminished available stocks, directly reducing production. At the same time, increased transportation costs due to rising fuel prices in 2020 and subsequent energy price adjustments raised operational expenses, adding to the constraints on market volume.

Despite these challenges, the forestry sector maintained economic significance through steady exports of coniferous sawnwood. Regulatory initiatives like the EU-Honduras Forest Alliance and the promotion of FSC certification aimed to improve forest governance and market access, operating within an environment of gradual market contraction.
