Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, Guatemala's non-coniferous wood fuel market volume expanded consistently, rising from 7 945 thousand m³ to 8 637 thousand m³. This growth was primarily driven by a structural deficit in sustainable firewood supply, which regularly exceeded forest growth rates, prompting increased production to meet demand. The National Forest Institute (INAB) supported this trend through its ongoing 2013-2024 National Strategy for Sustainable Production and Efficient Use of Firewood, which fostered inter-institutional coordination and rural extension programs to improve production practices.

Demand remained robust due to deeply entrenched socioeconomic factors, including high rural poverty rates and limited access to alternative fuels. Firewood consumption is culturally rooted, serving as the main energy source for over 54% of households, particularly in rural areas. INAB reported that annual extraction surpassed sustainable levels by more than 10 million m³, highlighting persistent sustainability pressures, while government officials noted that shifting away from firewood depends on broader economic improvements and job creation.
