Earlier Report Observations

Wood charcoal production in Belize demonstrated consistent annual growth, rising from 801 t in 2018 to 856 t in 2023. This steady increase in domestic output formed the primary foundation for the expansion of the local market volume over this period. The overall market size, reflecting domestic production and net trade, followed a generally upward trajectory from 806 t to 860 t across the same years. A notable interruption occurred in 2021 when a spike in exports temporarily reduced the domestic availability of charcoal, causing the market volume to dip to 819 t before resuming its growth path in the following years.
