Earlier Report Observations

The wood fuel market in Myanmar displayed remarkable stability from 2018 to 2023, with the annual market volume hovering within a narrow range of 38 278 to 38 288 thousand cubic meters. The overall movement during this six-year period was minimal, with the total change amounting to less than 0.03%.

This stability was underpinned by consistently flat domestic production, which remained at 38 288 thousand cubic meters from 2019 onward after a minor increase from 38 286 thousand cubic meters in 2018. International trade played an insignificant role, as imports dwindled to zero and exports remained at negligible levels, causing no substantial shifts in domestic availability.
