Earlier Report Observations

Domestic production of non-vegetable waxes in Timor-Leste remained constant at 40 000 kg annually from 2018 through 2023, providing a stable foundation for the market. The total market volume saw a slight decrease from 40 004 kg in 2018 to 40 000 kg by 2020, after which it plateaued. This minimal change corresponded with imports dropping from a few kilograms to zero, leaving the market entirely supplied by local production.

With no export activity recorded, the market's size was determined solely by domestic output and marginal imports. The data reflects a period of remarkable equilibrium in both production and consumption, with the market volume stabilizing at 40 000 kg for the latter half of the period.
