Earlier Report Observations
Togo's wood charcoal market volume expanded consistently from 276 thousand tonnes in 2018 to 308 thousand tonnes in 2023. This growth was underpinned by the country's heavy reliance on charcoal for domestic cooking, with over 80% of urban and peri-urban households depending on it as their primary energy source.
A key driver emerged in 2022 when rising prices for liquefied petroleum gas led many consumers to switch to more affordable wood charcoal, significantly boosting demand. This shift was reinforced by the expansion of the cashew nut sector, which indirectly increased charcoal use for processing by-products.
Regulatory reforms from 2020 aimed at professionalizing the forestry sector likely supported production growth, while the emergence of new entrepreneurial initiatives for biochar from waste materials signaled market innovation alongside traditional supply.
