Earlier Report Observations

The market for non-coniferous wood fuel in Seychelles remained extremely stable from 2018 to 2023, with annual volume consistently at 3 160 m³ except for a minor increase to 3 161 m³ in 2022. This steadiness was underpinned by unchanging domestic production and negligible imports.

A key regulatory change occurred in September 2022, when legislation mandated that firewood must have a moisture content below 23% to ensure better energy efficiency. This move towards higher-quality wood aligned with evolving consumer preferences for hardwoods, which offer a superior calorific value.

Beyond local regulations, the market was contextualized by international developments, including the 2023 start of construction on a major wood pellet plant in France designed to process hardwood. Furthermore, by 2024, industry emphasis was placed on long-term price contracting and increased mechanization to maintain sector stability.
