Earlier Report Observations

Domestic production of fuel wood in chips and particles in Zambia remained steady at 87 100 t per year throughout the period from 2018 to 2023. As exports were negligible, market volume was directly influenced by import fluctuations, leading to variations in total availability.

Market volume rose from 87 149 t in 2018 to a peak of 89 442 t in 2020, driven by a surge in imports to 2 342 t that year. Subsequently, imports fell sharply, and by 2023 the market had returned to near-production levels at 87 112 t, reflecting a stabilization of supply.
