The charcoal trade involves both domestic production and imports to meet the demand from households and businesses.
The Gambia Charcoal Market is primarily driven by the demand for alternative energy sources, particularly in rural areas where electricity access is limited. Charcoal remains a staple cooking fuel for many households, and its affordability and availability drive its demand. Furthermore, as a renewable resource, sustainable charcoal production methods are gaining importance.
The charcoal market in Gambia faces significant challenges due to deforestation and unsustainable harvesting practices, which affect the supply of raw materials. Additionally, the high demand for charcoal in cooking and industry, coupled with limited sustainable production practices, contributes to market instability. The lack of alternative and cleaner energy sources further drives reliance on charcoal, adding pressure on the market.
The government regulates the charcoal market to promote sustainable production practices, especially as charcoal is a key source of energy for many Gambian households. Policies are aimed at reducing deforestation and encouraging the use of alternative energy sources. The government promotes environmentally friendly charcoal production technologies, such as improved kilns, and offers incentives for businesses involved in sustainable charcoal production.
