Earlier Report Observations

Production of wood charcoal in Honduras remained stable at 21 000 t annually from 2018 through 2023. The market volume showed minor fluctuations, ranging between 20 943 t and 21 170 t, influenced by variable import levels and a single export shipment in 2022. In 2018, the state-owned forestry school Esnacifor was actively producing charcoal as a profitable business, selling around 1 000 bags monthly in supermarkets, contributing to the consistent domestic output.

From 2022 onward, Honduras engaged in climate justice initiatives, demanding carbon credits at COP27 and later passing the Special Law on Forest Carbon Transactions for Climate Justice in 2023. This legislation, implemented in 2024, aims to generate revenue from carbon markets and could influence forest management practices relevant to charcoal production. Additionally, widespread forest fires in 2024 affected over 219 000 hectares, potentially impacting wood resources for charcoal.
