Earlier Report Observations

Sudan's fuel wood chips market showed remarkable production stability from 2018 to 2023, consistently outputting 249 thousand tons annually. This steadiness stemmed from the country's heavy reliance on agriculture, which accounts for 80% of the economy and includes significant forest resources like fuel wood. Local agricultural enterprises supported this consistent production base.

The market volume experienced minor fluctuations, primarily driven by intermittent imports. A key development was the deterioration of vegetation cover in major farms around the capital Khartoum, beginning in 2020 and linked to the emerging conflict. This environmental degradation pressured the domestic supply chain for forest products.

The outbreak of full-scale war in April 2023 significantly disrupted agricultural zones, including the vital Al Jazirah project, which was taken out of cultivation. This disruption, coinciding with increased household demand for alternative heating and cooking fuels during the conflict, led to a rise in imports, which reached 2.1 thousand tons in 2023 and lifted the total market volume.
