Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, the non-coniferous wood fuel market in French Polynesia experienced gradual growth, with volume rising from 4 644 m³ to 4 748 m³. This expansion was underpinned by the development of the wood sector in the Marquesas Islands, where a key industrial operator began exploiting state-owned forest stands and provided services like sharpening, drying, and wood treatment to small enterprises. Additionally, a major afforestation program launched in the 1970s continued to influence local forestry and supply raw materials.

The government's Agricultural Development Scheme for 2021–2030, which included measures aimed at achieving self-sufficiency in the wood sector, further stimulated local production from 2021 onward. In 2022, stricter regulations on wood imports—such as phytosanitary requirements and restrictions on chemically treated wood—protected the domestic market, while public tenders for construction projects using wood, like a maintenance hangar on Nuku Hiva, supported demand. Later, in 2023, the adoption of energy efficiency standards for buildings and public consultations for roof maintenance works at the University of French Polynesia, involving wood joinery, indicated sustained activity in the wood-using sectors, indirectly supporting the wood fuel market.
