Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for non-coniferous wood fuel in Tanzania expanded consistently from 2018 to 2023, rising from 24.8 million cubic meters to 26.2 million cubic meters. This growth amounted to an increase of approximately 1.4 million cubic meters over the period, with each year adding between 250,000 and 300,000 cubic meters to the total.

Domestic production was the sole source of supply for the local market, as imports remained absent and exports were negligible. The steady annual increments indicate a stable expansion in consumption, supported entirely by internal production capabilities throughout these years.
