Charcoal
Cowdung
It depends on season, availability and affordability

Availability of Firewood Singida Rural Most villages have
Village forest, with some regulations.
In these forest harvesting are bigger than regrowth
Deforestation widespread.

Availability of Firewood Shinyanga Only in one village we
found forest, but very depleted.
Firewood is something, you can grow on fields
Or you buy firewood

Price of Firewood Prices of firewood in
Shinyanga are now 8 – 10 times higher than 10 years ago.
A ox chart load of firewood cost between 15,000 to 30,000 shillings

Use of Agricultural Residues Most households use
Agricultural residues in the dry season, some the whole year.
In some villages all residues are burnt up.
This lead to soil mining and loss of soil nutrients.
Low agricultural productivity

Cow dung Some households
even use cow dung as fuel

Euphorbia tirucalli Use of Minjar as
firewood are very common.
The smoke from that is very strong and poisonous
Health risk are very high

supply and consumption are not sustainable
Deforestation
Soil mining

High cost
