Earlier Report Observations
From 2018 to 2022, the market volume for non-coniferous wood fuel in Gabon remained steady at 1 070 thousand m³ annually. This stability aligned with the strengthening of forest sector regulations, including a 2018 ban on cutting precious kevazingo wood to curb illegal logging and the phased introduction of mandatory FSC certification for all forest concessions, which promoted sustainable management and supported consistent production levels.
In 2023, the market volume edged down to 1 062 thousand m³ as Gabon recorded its first exports of non-coniferous wood fuel, totaling 8 thousand m³. This change occurred against a backdrop of a reported 31% decline in the country's overall timber exports, driven by weaker demand from China, which influenced trade flows for wood products including fuel wood.
The regulatory environment continued to evolve in 2024 with the adoption of measures such as the authorized re‑exploitation of kevazingo under controlled conditions and the implementation of tax incentives for wood processing within the Nkok special economic zone, further shaping the operational landscape for market participants.
