Earlier Report Observations

Production of non-coniferous wood fuel in Central America remained exceptionally stable from 2018 to 2020, with annual volumes consistently around 54.5 million m³. This plateau occurred alongside a shift in wood demand towards higher-value industrial roundwood, which diverted resources away from fuel wood production. Persistent infrastructure limitations and a lack of market studies for processed forest fuels, such as pellets and wood chips, further constrained the development of more advanced market segments during this period.

A gradual uptrend began in 2021, with production increasing to 54.55 million m³ by 2023. The initial recovery followed the temporary market disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and global supply chain issues. The subsequent growth was supported by rising global consumption of solid biomass for fuel in industrialized countries and by regional policy efforts, notably in Colombia, to promote legal timber markets, which contributed to a more stable supply environment in the region.
