Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, the wood charcoal market in Barbados showed notable fluctuations, with its total volume moving between 299 and 328 tonnes. Domestic production remained fixed at 294 tonnes throughout the period, meaning all changes in market size were directly tied to shifts in import volumes.

A sharp drop in imports during 2019 led to a contraction in the overall market. This was followed by a recovery in import flows, which peaked in 2021 and lifted the market to its highest volume for the observed timeframe.

After 2021, import levels began to recede again, resulting in a gradual moderation of the total market size. By 2023, the market volume had settled at approximately 309 tonnes, indicating a period of stabilization following the earlier volatility.
