Earlier Report Observations

The volume of the non-coniferous sawnwood market in Burundi dropped significantly from 14 490 m³ in 2018 to 13 212 m³ in 2019, driven entirely by a collapse in imports from over 1 300 m³ to just 22 m³. Domestic production remained fixed at 13 190 m³ each year. For the next two years, market size stabilized around 13 190–13 192 m³, indicating a new equilibrium based almost solely on local output.

From 2022 to 2023, the market volume showed minimal movement, increasing marginally to 13 202 m³ and then to 13 245 m³. During this period, the government launched environmental policies, including a project to substitute traditional charcoal with carbonized briquettes and a nationwide "Zero Waste" initiative. These measures aimed to reduce wood consumption for energy and promote sustainable practices, potentially shaping demand conditions for sawnwood while the market volume held steady.
