[Stoves] Charcoal prince in Monrovia, Liberia

[Otto Formo]

Dear all,
the resale price in Lusaka, Zambia is close up to US$ 350 per ton and going upwards.
The price of electicity has raised close to 40% and made the demand for charcoal even higher, where people have access to electricity.
Zambia is a huge illegal exporter of charcoal to Tanzania and several other countries of southern Africa.
This cant go on for "ever"...............people has to be given an option to change fuel for cooking and heating.
