Earlier Report Observations

The market for fuel wood in chips and particles in Paraguay showed remarkable stability from 2018 to 2023, with annual volumes consistently hovering around 20 500–20 600 t. This steadiness was rooted in the country's ongoing heavy reliance on biomass for energy, where wood fuel accounted for over 55% of national consumption and nearly half of the industrial sector's useful energy. Despite grid electricity reaching some areas like the Mennonite colonies, most medium and small industries and households continued to depend on wood, maintaining consistent demand. Persistent pressure on native forests in the Eastern and Western regions highlighted the market's dependence on existing resources.

Industry structure and sector-specific demand underpinned this stable market. The Paraguayan Federation of Timber Producers (Fepama) remained a leading guild influencing the forest-industrial sector, representing over fifty associated companies. Concurrently, research supported by CONACYT detailed the intensive use of fuel wood in traditional ceramic production in districts like Tobatí, illustrating how key industrial consumers sustained demand. Reforestation efforts promoting species like Eucalyptus Camaldulensis and Eucalyptus Grandis were encouraged to improve wood quality and availability, supporting supply without triggering major market shifts. No significant new entrants, large facility closures, or specific regulatory changes were reported, contributing to an unchanged market landscape.
