Earlier Report Observations

The non-coniferous sawnwood market in Burkina Faso began the period influenced by significant regulatory changes. The adoption of the new Forest Code in late 2018 and subsequent regulations governing wood transport introduced stricter frameworks for forest resource management and logistics. These measures coincided with a contraction in market volume to 20 120 m³ in 2019, as the regulatory environment likely affected import flows and market operations.

Market volume recovered to 28 914 m³ by 2021. This growth period aligned with continued application of the forest regulations and the broader impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which generated increased global demand for sawnwood. Despite reported supply chain difficulties, this heightened demand supported a rise in imports to Burkina Faso, offsetting stable domestic production levels.

From 2022, the market faced renewed pressure, with volume falling to 19 012 m³ by 2023. The economic difficulties and restricted movement of actors linked to the Russia-Ukraine crisis directly impacted the biomass and wood distribution sectors. Furthermore, a growing policy emphasis on diversifying towards Non-Timber Forest Products for economic and ecosystem preservation may have indirectly shifted focus away from traditional sawnwood markets.
