A good illustration of the discrepancy between current estimates of importance comes from comparing the value for woodfuel reported for Africa (most woodfuel is harvested from naturallyregenerating rather than planted sources in the continent) in the 2010 GFRA (1.4 billion USD annually) with the World Bank’s (2011) much higher estimate of the value of the charcoal industry in the sub-Sahara region (eight billion USD annually).
