Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for fuel wood in chips and particles in Ecuador increased from 55.4 thousand tons in 2018 to 188.8 thousand tons in 2023, with significant growth in 2019-2020 as exports declined and production remained stable at 130 thousand tons.

In 2020, the introduction of the new Sello Calidad de Leña quality seal and the entry of new players into the market coincided with a shift toward domestic supply, reducing exports and expanding the internal market. During 2021-2022, market volume stabilized at 130 thousand tons despite a documented decline in the use of fuel wood for household cooking, reflecting changing consumer preferences influenced by socio-economic factors and the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2023, production surged to 190.5 thousand tons, driving market volume to 188.8 thousand tons.
