Earlier Report Observations

The wood charcoal market in Saint Lucia experienced a gradual contraction from 2018 to 2023, with volume declining from 352 tons to 343 tons. This represented a slow but persistent downward trend across the six-year period.

Market volume stabilized in 2021 after initial declines, but the downward movement resumed thereafter. The complete halt of charcoal imports after 2020 reduced total available supply, coinciding with a consistent, slight year-on-year decrease in domestic production.
