Earlier Report Observations

Sudan's production of wood in the rough remained highly stable between 2018 and 2023. Volume saw a negligible increase from 10 844 thousand tons to 10 881 thousand tons in 2019 and then stayed fixed at that level through 2023, with no international trade recorded.

By 2024, the market faced new pressures from rising import and raw material costs, significant foreign exchange rate volatility, and increased transport and energy expenses. These factors were compounded by a severe fuel supply crisis following the destruction of the Khartoum refinery and broader economic challenges, affecting overall operating costs and consumer demand patterns.
