Earlier Report Observations

The market for fuel wood in chips and particles in Cuba remained highly stable from 2018 to 2022, with annual volumes consistently around 325 tonnes. This stability was broken in 2023 when the market size rose to 329 tonnes, driven by a jump in imports to 4 tonnes. The increase coincided with Cuba's deepening energy crisis and widespread fuel rationing, which forced greater reliance on wood chips for cooking and heating, thereby boosting demand and import activity.

Earlier in the period, regulatory changes introduced new market dynamics. The approval of micro, small, and medium enterprises in late 2021 reduced state monopolies, while modifications to import nomenclature and customs tariffs in 2021 and 2022 altered trade conditions. Persistent energy shortages, exacerbated by economic sanctions, alongside foreign investments in technologies that minimize wood consumption, highlighted the evolving role of wood fuel in Cuba's energy landscape.
