A study of Charcoal consumption, trade and production in Malawithe realityCharcoalPatrick Kambewa, Bennet Mataya, Killy Sichinga, Todd JohnsonCharcoal is potentially a renewable forest product. But current production and distribution methods in Malawi prevent reinvestment in the next cycle of harvest. Reversing the lack of incentives for reinvestment is a critical political and economic issue. As this study documents, the Charcoal industry is one of the largest in Malawi; if the product was exported, the annual foreign exchange income to the country would fall somewhere between that of tea (Malawi s 2nd-largest export after tobacco in 2006) and sugar (3rd-largest). Charcoal is therefore a product with a very large domestic market, yet whose production is treated variously as either non-existent or illegal. The question that we hope this report stimulates as the core of a lively debate among government officials, parliamentarians, interested parties, and the general public is simple: How do we want to produce this product to meet this market demand in a better manner?
