[Stoves] Charcoal prince in Monrovia, Liberia

[rongretlarson at comcast.net]

Rogerio and all 

Good questions. 

I think it very important that we learn the same price information for wood - preferably at all the different levels (producer, wholesale, retail) - that one can purchase either wood or char. Also I think it important to hear the price of fines, if possible. My experience is that a lot is sold only by the kilo - not the bag - so knowing that difference would be helpful. 

While at it, knowing the price of any other energy carrier would be helpful (electricity,.petrol, propane, candles, etc). If sold by bags or bundles, we need the weight of those units (approximate if all that is available). 

While at it, I'd like to know whether production and sale of charcoal is illegal in these countries. Also if price trends are known, that would be helpful.

Crispin, is this resale price? 

Seems not bad. I just heard that in Dar es Salaam is about US$ 400 to 
500 per ton, and Dakar near US$ 400 per ton. 

I wonder how much is resale price in other African capitals such as 
Maputo, Nairobi, Kampala, Lagos, Adis Ababa and Kigali. Anyone from 
that region to report prices in US$/ton? 

Any other region?
