Earlier Report Observations

Production of non-coniferous wood fuel in the Dominican Republic grew steadily from 967.9 thousand m³ in 2018 to 997.6 thousand m³ in 2023. This expansion was initially supported by identified opportunities in the wood industry, which highlighted wood's use as a fuel source, and by the tax structure applied to industrialized wood goods.

The consistent rise continued through the period, even as a 2021 sector report noted that local timber production covered less than 20% of national consumption. Tariff exemptions for certain wood codes likely fostered overall market activity, providing a supportive environment for fuel wood production.

By 2024, the market framework included substantial government subsidies for fossil fuels and a notable increase in renewable energy's share of the power matrix to 23.32%, factors that influence the competitive landscape for wood-based fuel.
