Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, Ethiopia's non-coniferous wood fuel market expanded steadily, with production rising from 104 million m³ to 110.1 million m³. The market grew each year, adding approximately 1 to 1.3 million m³ annually, reflecting a consistent upward trend in volume.

This growth was underpinned by the country's exceptionally high per capita wood fuel consumption, driven by limited access to modern energy sources, cultural preferences for traditional cooking and heating, and the widespread availability of natural forests for informal fuelwood harvesting. These socio-economic and environmental factors sustained demand, keeping the market largely informal and tradition-based throughout the period.
